At room temperature is only a factual information AKA the context in which the process unfolds. It is not the answer.

Why there is difference in the atomic structure ?? because the way is more or less fast.

Okay now I understood the point.thats why said It is mentioned in passage tht in nonmetallic glasses kinetic favours slow formation at any rate, right?

yes.Exactly

The strategy is to read super very carefully the statement and then eliminate choice by choice until the right one comes up.

The tip is that in inference questions NEVER if an answer choice repeats the same words in some part of the stimulus is the right one. Simply because otherwise will not be an inference question.

Hope this helps

I am still not able to understand how C is the answer. The last sentence - Thus, in metals, the kinetics favors rapid formation of a crystal line structure, whereas in nonmetallic glasses the rate of formation is so slow that almost any cooling rate is sufficient to result in an amorphous structure.

From this, we know that slow rate favors amorphous structure in nonmetal but which is the clue to infer that slow rate also favors crystalline in the nonmetal

Because is the process is slow + kinetic and other factors you have X.

If the process is SO slow + kinetic and other factors you have Y.

The common denominator is at a room temperature.
