Answer:

Water travels through the passages in a manner that is similar to water flowing through pipes in a plumbing system.

Explanation:

In the passage, the author has compared the geysers' plumbing system with the underground water-filled boiling water as the movement of the water in passages are similar to the course of water through pipes in the plumbing systems.

The writer in this passage is talking about the fickleness of the geysers. The writer supports it by saying that this fickleness is because of the frequent changes that an underground passage goes through, which is filled with boiling water.

<u>The current of water in both the passages and the pipes are similar, this is why the writer used the reference of 'geysers plumbing system.'</u>

Thus the correct answer is the second option.

Water travels through the passages in a manner that is similar to water flowing through pipes in a plumbing system.

Explanation:

I believe this answer choice would best explain the use of the comparison because in the same sentence, the author is writing about the "system of underground passages," (which are filled with water) and this answer choice is the only one that actually discusses how the water travels through the system.

Sonbull [250]
"And on the point now in question seems to be altogether blind and babbling" seems to sum up the opinion of the ancient Greeks and their studies of processes like the motion of matter perhaps because at that time of history of the classical learning much of it was based on pure speculation without going out and getting one's hands dirty and really perceiving phenomena with one's 5  senses as Georgius Agricola did in going down in underground mines to find out firsthand how mining was carried out.
