XAT 2018 · VALR · Easy · Critical Reasoning

Read the following paragraph and answer the question that follows:

The size of oceanic waves is a function of the velocity of the wind and of fetch, the length of the surface of the water subject to those winds. The average impact of waves against a coastline is a function of the size of the waves and the shape of the sea bottom. The degree of erosion on coastline is a function of the average impact of waves and the geologic composition of the coastline.

According to the above paragraph, which of the following options will be true?

  1. A.

    The fetch of wind is related to the shape of the sea bottom.

  2. B.

    The size of oceanic waves will not fluctuate far from average.

  3. C.

    The size of oceanic wave is correlated with the shape of the sea bottom.

  4. D.

    Degree of erosion on coastline is not related with the velocity of wind.

  5. E.

    Degree of erosion on coastline is related to shape of the sea-bottom.
