A. Ice Hole
B. ice cap
C. ice bronze
D. ice valley
This type of choice question should be left to us last, when we have understood the main content of the text and have a preliminary grasp of the important information areas in the text. We can use exclusion with this question, answers A, C, and D all belong to the group of mountain glaciers, also known as alpine glaciers. We see the information in paragraph 5, lines 1-4:
The second category of glaciers includes those of a variety of shapes and sizes generally called mountain or alpine glaciers. Mountain glaciers are typically identified by the landform that controls their flow. One form of mountain glacier that resembles an ice cap in that it flows outward in several directions is called an ice field.
=> The second type is a type of glacier that varies in shape and size, commonly known as alpine glaciers or alpine glaciers (relating to the Alps). Mountain glaciers are often defined by the type of landform that controls their flow. A form of mountain glacier, which can flow in all directions like an ice sheet, is called a glacial plain.
And the info at the end, lines 1-2:
Less spectacular than large ice fields are the most common types of mountain glaciers: the cirque and valley glaciers.
Not as majestic as vast glacial plains are the most common types of mountain glaciers: ice craters and ice valleys.
So answer B is not mentioned as a glacier
