Logical Reasoning Question 17
Question; Direction; Study the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:
In recent years, global environmental issues like climate change and trans-boundary pollution have gained a lot of attention and has inspired a lot of concern. The UN Food and Agricultural Organization, in 2005, reported that every year around 18 million acres of the world’s forests are lost due to deforestation. Forest trees play an essential role in stable ecosystems and the global atmospheric make-up. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen in a process called photosynthesis. When they are cleared, whether it is by being cut down or burned, they release carbon dioxide into the air. According to The Union of Concerned Scientists, deforestation contributes to 3 billion tons of carbon dioxide a year, which is about 10% of all global warming emissions. Global warming has a significant effect on our environment and impacts all other facets of our natural ecological industries. Issues like these force people to recognize the intricate connection we all have due to the planet we share; yet, humans continue to ignore this interdependence and proceed with the attack on the Earth’s ecosystems. What is a strong argument against deforestation?
Options:
A) Deforestation leads to global ecosystem disruption
B) Deforestation contributes to global warming
C) Deforestation releases carbon dioxide into the air
