2) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

Rainbows are often seen when the sun comes out after or during a rainstorm. Rainbows are caused when sunlight
shines through drops of water in the sky at specific angles. When white sunlight enters a raindrop, it exits the raindrop a
different color. When light exits lots of different raindrops at different angles, it produces the red, orange, yellow, green,
blue, indigo, and violet that you see in a rainbow. Together, these colours are known as the spectrum. These colors can
sometimes be seen in waterfalls and fountains, as well. Did you know that there are double rainbows? In a double
rainbow, light reflects twice inside water droplets and forms two arcs. In most double rainbows, the colors of the top arc
are opposite from those in the bottom arc. In other words, the order of colors starts with violet on top and ends with red
on bottom. In addition, rainbows sometimes appear as white arcs at night. These rainbows are called moonbows and are
so rare that very few people will ever see one. Moonbows are caused by moonlight (rather than sunlight) shining through
drops of water.
