In fact, the quiet spell on the Sun may be【C7】______some of the warming effects of greenhouse gases, accounts for the somewhat flat temperature trend of the past decade. But【C8】______if this solar minimum is offsetting global warming, scientists stress that the overall effect is relatively slight and certainly will not last.

But whether the quiet Sun was entirely to blame for it remains highly【C10】______.
