　　托福阅读修辞目的题：Mechanical　Clock

　　【Paragraph 1】In Europe, before the introduction of the mechanical clock, people told time by sun (using, for　example, shadow sticks or sun dials) and water clocks. Sun clocks worked, of course, only on clear days; water clocks　misbehaved when the temperature fell toward freezing, to say nothing of long-run drift as the result of sedimentation and　clogging. Both these devices worked well in sunny climates; but in northern Europe the sun may be hidden by clouds for　weeks at a time, while temperatures vary not only seasonally but from day to night.(The Invention of the Mechanical　Clock)

　　Why does the author provide the information that ”in northern Europe the sun may be hidden by clouds for weeks at　a time, while temperatures vary not only seasonally but from day to night”?

　　○ To emphasize the variety of environments in which people used sun and water clocks to tell time

　　○ To illustrate the disadvantage of sun and water clocks

　　○ To provide an example of an area where water clocks have an advantage over sun clocks

　　○ To counter the claim that sun and water clocks were used all over Europe
