Editorial: It is absurd to suppose that getting motorists to switch to electrically-powered automobiles will significantly reduce carbon emissions. Batteries have to be charged, and the electricity to charge them is almost certainly going to be produced by the burning of fossil fuels, A process that inevitably Creates carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide as by-products. Which of the following would, if true, be most effective rebuttal of the editorial’s criticism? A The smaller the number of locations at which carbon emissions occur, the easier it is to have carbon captured and sequester carbon emissions produced by the process. B Most people insist that they would be willing to pay more for electrically-powered vehicles if they believed that widespread use of such vehicles would protect the environment. C Carbon emissions produced in the manufacture of petroleum by-products constitute nearly one-half of all greenhouse gases produced by human industrial activity. D Studies have shown that the less pollution people believe automobiles to produce, the longer distances they will tend to drive them. E Although carbon emissions are most plentiful greenhouse gases, other such gases are more harmful per unit of weight.
After recent hurricanes produced tremendous damage there, Mardin County revised its building code. In doing so, Mardin imposed stricter standards for roofing but not for windows. The revision will undoubtedly reduce the principal cause of property damage, namely rainwater coming through damaged roofs. However, the revision will do little to prevent personal injuries, since, while many injuries are caused by flying debris breaking through windows, very few are caused by roof collapse or rainwater. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weaken the argument? (A) For many years Mardin County's building code has imposed a stricter standard for windows than that imposed by most counties that are frequently struck by hurricanes. (B) The hurricanes that recently hit Mardin County were not as severe as some hurricanes that have hit there in the past 100 years. (C) Much of the flying debris carried by the winds of a hurricane is roof material that has become dislodged. (D) During a hurricane, broken windows in a house cause increased pressure inside the house that can, in turn, cause the roof of the house to become damaged. (E) Mardin County's building code applies to the repair of houses in addition to the construction of new houses.
