Q13-it can be inferred that

by lunazhuyu Sat Aug 19, 2017 11:08 pm

I don't understand why A is not right... the author suggested to try less expensive method, and A is saying the most effective measure is not necessarily the most costly... seems to me the author would approve there is a possibility that the most effective method is not the most costly one.
Any thoughts? thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of that LSAT (our company doesn't as well, for some weird licensing reason).

I had a copy on my laptop, but then I spilled water on it a week ago and now it doesn't work. So it looks like we won't be able to help you with this one (at least yet).

Sorry about your laptop... hope it would be repaired soon. And thanks for replying.
I already kinda convinced myself that C(the correct answer choice) is a better one cuz it's more closely linked to the passage's main idea.

The answer is C as supported by the last paragraph regarding less costly measures being taken immediately until more knowledge is acquired.

Answer A is actually unsupported because no one knows yet what methods are the most effective to reversing global warming. This answer is tempting because the last paragraph talks about trying less costly measures first, but there is an emphasis on "trying." They don't actually state that the less costly measure will be more effective once more knowledge is obtained.
