Both (18)_____ declining through the present day, leading to lower temperatures, and a new ice age should have begun 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, Dr. Ruddiman said. Instead, levels of carbon dioxide reversed 8,000 wears ago. The decline (19)_____ methane levels reversed 5,000 years ago, (20)_____ with the advent of irrigation rice farming.
选项
A、produced
B、was produced
