Costa Rica is a tropical country with warm weather all year long. It rains a lot there, but it never snows. Some people have reported seeing snow falling on the tops of the mountains, but the Costa Rican weather service has always dismissed these reports. Costa Rican meteorologists say that when people in Costa Rica think they see snow, it's usually hail. There's no need for skis or other cold weather gear in Costa Rica, so people do not have to worry about buying them.

  1. If you go to Costa Rica, it's a good idea to take a raincoat.

They tell their patients that a variety of fruits and vegetables is best. Adults who talk to their doctors about making healthy decisions tend to follow their doctors' advice.

NASA sends several missions to space each year, but not all of them launch on schedule. When a mission is delayed or cancelled, it's called a "scrub." Missions can get scrubbed due to technical problems, but that usually happens before the launch date. Bad weather can cause a scrub on the launch date. If the air temperature is not within a specific range, the clouds are too thick, or there is too much wind, a mission that is ready to launch will be scrubbed. Most scrubbed missions launch once conditions improve.

Which statement is a generalization about what you just read?
  1. If you want to see a launch, make sure the mission hasn't been scrubbed before traveling to Cape Canaveral.
  2. Many NASA missions that are scrubbed will never launch.
  3. Most NASA missions that are scrubbed on the launch date are delayed due to bad weather.
  4. NASA delays missions when they don't have enough money to launch.
