Answer C

Hi @AllisonJ, Thanks for the question! So you are right in that if there are more glaciers, then there’d be more water than one glacier melting. But remember the paradox set up in the stimulus. It’s about how quickly the ice melts. Remember, we’re told that the reason that scientists rejected the flood theory is because scientists didn’t know how the ice could melt so quickly, and not because scientists thought that there wasn’t enough water. Even if the ice is spread out among more than one glacier, that’s not going to do anything about the rate of the ice melting. That’s the heart of the paradox, and (C) doesn’t address it, so (C) can’t be the correct answer. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
