Question

question 9 of 10
the green revolution changed agricultural methods and
allowed farmers to produce more food than ever before.
however, many scientists argue that these methods are
not sustainable.
which action would be most likely to limit future developments in science and
engineering related to agriculture?

a. governments remove restrictions on research regarding
genetically modified food.

b. private companies decide to provide more money to study the use
of pesticides on crops.

c. people vote to remove government funding for research about
genetically modified crops.

d. scientists publish more evidence in support of modern farming
methods.

Explanation:

To determine which action limits future agricultural science/engineering developments, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Removing research restrictions would encourage, not limit, development.
• Option B: More funding for pesticide studies would support research, promoting development.
• Option C: Removing government funding for genetically modified crop research reduces resources for this area, limiting its development.
• Option D: Publishing supportive evidence for modern farming would likely advance, not limit, development.

Answer:

C. People vote to remove government funding for research about genetically modified crops.
