Identify the cause-and-effect relationship: a government takes specific action to address a problem only if that problem is a significant contributor to the issue at hand.
Identify the cause-and-effect relationship: a government takes specific action to address a problem only if that problem is a significant contributor to the issue at hand.
Analyze the Statement
The government intends to ban crop burning specifically to reduce winter air pollution. This implies a direct link where crop burning is considered a contributor to said pollution.
Evaluate the Logical Link
For a government policy to be justified, the targeted activity must be a recognized source of the problem. Thus, it follows logically that crop burning is a major source of winter pollution.
A: It is an extreme generalization ('all') that is not supported by the statement. C: The statement discusses a ban on an activity, not the cessation of crop growth. D: The word 'completely' is an absolute term; the goal is to 'reduce' pollution, not necessarily eliminate it entirely.
B is correct because the government's decision to ban crop burning to reduce pollution directly implies that crop burning is identified as a significant contributor to that pollution.
Watch out for extreme qualifiers like 'all', 'only', 'never', or 'completely' in conclusions; these are rarely correct unless explicitly stated in the passage.
