Question

which of the following statements is best supported by information provided in the passage? choose 1 answer: a while an environmental problem is being studied, people can make individual choices to help address the problem. b when the source of an environmental problem is recognized, human activities can be regulated to mitigate global impacts. c before an environmental problem is fully understood, groups can discuss their concerns and brainstorm ideas for solving the problem.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option. Option A talks about individual choices during study, but the passage likely focuses on group discussion or regulatory actions. Option B mentions regulating human activities after recognizing the source, but the key here is about actions before full understanding. Option C states that before full understanding, groups discuss and brainstorm, which aligns with the idea of preliminary steps in addressing environmental issues (like collaborative problem - solving in the early stages).

Answer:

C. Before an environmental problem is fully understood, groups can discuss their concerns and brainstorm ideas for solving the problem.
