    Answer the given questions based on the given paragraph:I felt the wall of the tunnel shiver. The master alarm squealed through my earphones. Almost simultaneously, Jack yelled down to me that there was a warning light on. Fleeting but spectacular sights snapped into and out of view, the snow, the shower of debris, the moon, looming close and big, the dazzling sunshine for once unfiltered by layers of air. The last twelve hours before re-entry were particular bone-chilling.

    • That there was no strong wind

    • That the air was unpolluted

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. None of the above
    Explanation
    The statement that the dazzling sunshine was "for once unfiltered by layers of air" means that the astronaut was able to see the sunshine without any obstruction or interference from the atmosphere. This suggests that the astronaut was in space, outside of the Earth's atmosphere, where there is no air or pollution to filter the sunlight. Therefore, none of the options provided (very hot sun, no strong wind, unpolluted air) accurately describe the meaning of the statement.
