38. The correct answer is (D). This question focuses on the information in the second
paragraph. The author first notes that vegetation patterns correspond generally with
climate (as determined primarily by latitude and altitude). Accordingly, altitude and
latitude affect vegetation patterns throughout the region. Then, in the final sentence
the author points out that, in spite of the general correspondence between climate and
vegetation, local patterns may not correspond so precisely with climate, due to a
number of local factors. Choice (D) accurately reflects the information in the second
paragraph.
