Passage VII

Figure 1 shows how, on average, internal head temperature and skin temperature affect heat production (in calories per second, cal/sec) in humans.

Figure 2 shows how, on average, infernal head temperature and skin temperature affect evaporative heat loss (heat lost through the evaporation of perspiration) in humans.

38. According to Figure 2, at a skin temperature of 32°C, as internal head temperature increases from 36.2°C to 37.0°C, evaporative heat loss:

Answer and Explanation

Your Answer is

Correct Answer is G

Explanation

Look at figure 2, on the curve with skin temperature of 32°C, when the abscissa is between 36.2-37°C, the ordinate first remains unchanged, and then continues to increase
