Reading Comprehension (RC) | Re: Scientists have long assumed that Antarctic ice sheets are essentially

 

­The main function of the first paragraph in the passage is to set up the context and introduce the apparent discrepancy between long-standing scientific assumptions and recent observations regarding the stability of Antarctic ice sheets.

A is incorrect because the first paragraph doesn't directly account for the observations. Instead, it sets up the background by stating the long-held assumption and introduces the observed changes, leaving the explanation for subsequent paragraphs.
