PostPosted: 02 Apr 2010 07:34 pm Post subject: Bad question, D is not sufficient as an answer.
| Quote: | The Question: 37) It can be inferred from the passage that an important reason that desertification in the United States has received less attention than desertification in other parts of the world is that:
Choice D states "it does not interrupt the food chain in the United States."
But lines 1-2 of paragraph 3 state: desertification in the United States has some very far-ranging implications in terms of the nation's food and energy supplies.
So by that line, I feel D is not a sufficient answer, although I acknowledge none of the other answers are much better. |

Yes, the passage does say that | Quote: | | desertification in the United States has some very far-ranging implications in terms of the nation's food and energy supplies. |
However, the passage never mentions the country undergoes an interruption of the food chain.
Also, using basic knowledge, we know that the United States imports foods from other countries as well as it produces some itself. This means that the food chain cannot be interrupted since the country can simply import what is lacking. |
