Question
enticing people to drink recycled water, however, requires getting past what experts call the \yuck factor.\ efforts in the 1990s to develop water reuse in san diego and los angeles were beaten back by activists who denounced what they called, devastatingly, \toilet to tap.\ los angeles built a $235 million purification plant in the 1990s, but never used it to produce drinking water; the water goes to irrigation instead. but with the special purification plant, which has been operating since 2008, orange county swung people to the idea of drinking recycled water. the county does not run its purified water directly into drinking water treatment plants; instead, it sends the water underground to replenish the area’s aquifers and to be diluted by the natural water supply. this environmental buffer seems to provide an emotional buffer for consumers as well. —\water flowing from toilet to tap\ which reason in this passage shows that it is possible to convince people to use recycled water? what is the passage? most experts reject the \yuck\ factor. environmentalists support recycling water. orange county has a successful water program.
To determine the reason showing it's possible to convince people to use recycled water, we analyze each option:
- "Most experts reject the 'yuck' factor" doesn't show it's possible to convince, as rejecting the factor doesn't imply success in convincing.
- "Environmentalists support recycling water" - support from environmentalists alone doesn't directly show it's possible to convince the general public.
- "Orange County has a successful recycled water program" - having a successful program (the water goes through a special purification plant, replenishes aquifers, and acts as an environmental buffer) demonstrates that a region has implemented and succeeded with recycled water, which shows it is possible to convince people (since the program is successful, meaning people are using the recycled water or the program is accepted).
