Which one of the following groups of four climates represents humid conditions?
Explanation
Option B is correct because according to the textbook, 'The capital letters: A, C, D and E delineate humid climates and B dry climates.' Therefore, the group A—C—D—E represents all humid conditions. Options A and C are incorrect because they include B, which represents dry climates. Option D is incorrect because F is not a major climatic group; it appears only as a subtype under Group E (Polar ice cap - EF).
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the climatic groups from the context - A (Tropical Humid), B (Dry), C (Warm Temperate), D (Cold Snow Forest), E (Cold).
Step 2: Note the key statement: 'The capital letters: A, C, D and E delineate humid climates and B dry climates.'
Step 3: Evaluate each option - Option A includes B (dry), Option B includes A, C, D, E (all humid), Option C includes B (dry), Option D includes F (not a major group).
Step 4: Conclude that Option B (A—C—D—E) is the correct answer as it contains only humid climate groups.
