J: Research on the properties of snow at the north pole should be conducted in Jan and Feb. The weather is then cold enough to ensure that the snow will not melt. It is important that research money not be wasted; if we wait until a later month, we risk sending researchers when they will be unable to carry out research successfully.

L: I disagree. The weather will likely still be quite cold in April and May, and by going later, researchers run less risk of suffering dangerous exposure to the cold.

The dialogue lends the most support to the claim that J and L disagree on whether

A. there is a possibility of snow melting at the North pole during April and May.
B. It is impossible to investigate the properties of snow at the North Pole later than Feb.
C. funding will be wasted if research on snow is carried out at the north pole later than Feb.
D. the temperature at the north pole in January and February are lower than are the temperature in April and May.
E. research funding considerations outweigh the risk to researchers posed by temperatures at the North pole in Jan and Feb.
==============================
D is not the answer definitely because they both agree on that. A,B,C, all seem right answers.

L: I disagree.
L disagree 的是：去不去，是由research money方面考量。
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

A) L: likely still be quite cold
    L 也认为  there is a possibility of snow melting ，虽然可能性不大。

B) 是否 impossible to investigate，双方都没涉及。

C) 大家都没说，later than Feb 就是 waste money。

插个小花, 我想参与讨论:)
J: It is important that research money not be wasted; if we wait until a later month, we risk sending researchers when they will be unable to carry out research successfully.
(C) 看起来J同意, L未表态
