【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】Rhetorical construction; Logical predication
This sentence describes a multistep process by which ocean water is transformed into clouds. These steps are most clearly presented in chronological order, with ocean water as the main subject of the sentence.
A This sentence provides no sense of steps and illogically suggests that the oceans' water evaporates after it rises high into the atmosphere.
B The antecedent for the relative pronoun which is ambiguous, again suggesting that oceans rise high.
C Correct. The sequence of steps in a cloud's formation is clear.
D The nonchronological order of the steps by which clouds are produced is confusing, suggesting that dust forms clouds.
E The relative pronoun which grammatically refers to atmosphere, creating a nonsensical claim that the atmosphere, rather than the water, condenses.
The correct answer is C.
