question # 3
multiple choice
how does emphasis on agricultural technology today compare to the recent past?
in the past, scientists have not been concerned with the well - being of livestock or crops.
in the past, scientists were concerned with mass - producing for local areas, not for large areas.
today scientists are devising ways to use advancements in positive ways for the environment.
today scientists are only concerned with the nutrition of livestock, not with size or quantity.

Explanation:

• The first option is false: past agricultural scientists did focus on livestock and crop well-being for productivity.
• The second option is false: past agricultural tech often aimed for large-scale production (e.g., the Green Revolution) for broad distribution, not just local areas.
• The third option is true: modern agricultural technology increasingly prioritizes sustainable, eco-positive applications (e.g., precision farming, regenerative agriculture techniques) alongside productivity.
• The fourth option is false: modern scientists still focus on livestock size/quantity alongside nutrition for agricultural efficiency.

Answer:

C. Today scientists are devising ways to use advancements in positive ways for the environment.
