Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
Crop circles, those enigmatic patterns appearing mysteriously in fields, have baffled researchers for decades. While some readily attribute their creation to elaborate hoaxes, others propose more extraordinary explanations. One such theory suggests that these formations are the work of unusual weather phenomena.
Proponents of the weather hypothesis point to specific atmospheric conditions that could contribute to their formation. They argue that swirling winds, similar to dust devils but on a larger scale, could flatten crops in intricate designs. Additionally, they propose that electrical charges within storms, interacting with the Earth''s magnetic field, could create localized energy bursts capable of influencing plant growth and forming patterns.
Supporting this theory are documented cases of crop circles appearing after unusual weather events. For example, in 1990, a complex formation was discovered in England following a night of intense thunderstorms and swirling winds. However, skeptics remain unconvinced, highlighting the precision and complexity of many formations as evidence against natural causes.
The debate surrounding the formation of crop circles continues, with no definitive answer. While weather phenomena offer a plausible explanation for some simpler formations, more intricate designs continue to fuel speculation of unexplained forces at work.
