Read the given paragraph and answer the following questions.

Winters in the town of Trondheim mean fierce winds and heavy snow. The skies are dark for months. Kari drives to work in the dark at 8 am. She has special tyres for the winter and keeps the headlights of her powerful car switched on. Her office is artificially heated at a comfortable 23 degrees Celsius. The campus of the university she works in is built under a huge glass dome. This dome keeps the snow out in winter and lets in the sunshine in the summer. The temperature is controlled carefully and there is adequate lighting. Even though fresh vegetables and plants don't grow in such harsh weather, Kari keeps an orchid on her desk and enjoys eating tropical fruits like banana and kiwi. These are flown in from warmer areas regularly. With a click of the mouse, Kari can network with colleagues in New Delhi. She frequently takes a morning flight to London and returns in the evening in time to watch her favourite television serial. Though Kari is fifty-eight years old, she is fitter and looks younger than many thirty year-olds in other parts of the world.

Kari resides in a town of ____ area.

polar

The correct answer is Option (2) → polar

The passage describes fierce winds, heavy snow, and months of darkness in winter, which are features of a polar area.

• Humid temperate areas have moderate climate with rainfall, not months of darkness.

• Tropical and equatorial regions are warm, with abundant sunlight and vegetation, which is the opposite of Trondheim’s harsh cold climate.
