*Bypassing the liquid water phase*, those molecules condense directly
onto the established hexagonal pattern. As a result, the flake grows
outward into bigger and more complex hexagonal arrangements
surrounding the original hexagonal shape at the center of the flake.
If the writer were to delete the * * portion (adjusting the capitalization as
needed), the sentence could primarily lose:
A. an explanation of the process water molecules undergo to change from
liquid to vapor to solid.
B. a detail that mentions a step some water molecules skip in changing
from vapor to solid.
C. a visual description of what water vapor molecules look like.
D. an explanation of how molecules react to various air temperatures. - 🧠
