question
in 2020, the agency laid out a plan to bring fossil fuel emissions down from safer levels for the environment.
which choice is clearest and most grammatically acceptable in context?
a no change
b over from
c down to
d contradicting

Explanation:

To determine the correct option, we analyze the context: the agency wants to reduce fossil fuel emissions to a level that is safe for the environment.

• Option A: "down from" is illogical here because you can't bring emissions down from a safe level (it should be to a safe level).
• Option B: "over from" is not a standard or logical phrase in this context.
• Option C: "down to" is correct as it conveys the idea of reducing emissions to a safe level.
• Option D: "contradicting" is a verb form that doesn't fit grammatically or contextually here (it would change the meaning and structure of the sentence incorrectly).

Answer:

C. down to
