My answer was different, sorry I forgot to mark my answer. I will not be using your answer, I'll stick with mine.
That's no problem, please let me know which answer you believe is correct.
To determine the correct answer, we need to analyze each option:
Option A: "Earthquakes and mudslides push crops into rivers where the pesticides wash away and reach the ocean." This option suggests that earthquakes and mudslides play a role in pushing crops into rivers, leading to pesticides reaching the ocean.
Option B: "Rain washes pesticides off crops and into rivers, which eventually flow into the ocean." This option states that rainwater washes pesticides off crops and carries them into rivers, eventually reaching the ocean.
Option C: "Most farms are located along the coast, where flooding can wash pesticides into the ocean." This option suggests that due to the coastal location of farms, flooding can occur, which can then wash pesticides into the ocean.
Option D: "Earthquakes and mudslides push crops into rivers where the pesticides wash away and reach the ocean." This option is identical to Option A.
By analyzing the options, we can see that Options A and D are repeated. Therefore, the correct answer is either B or C.
To determine which option is correct, we need to consider the negative impact of farming on the ocean in Central America and the Caribbean. Both options highlight the issue of pesticides reaching the ocean, but only Option B directly connects it to farming practices by mentioning the washing away of pesticides from crops.
Therefore, the correct answer is B: Rain washes pesticides off crops and into rivers, which eventually flow into the ocean.
Overall, farming in Central America and the Caribbean can have a negative impact on the ocean as rainwater washes pesticides off crops and carries them into rivers, which eventually flow into the ocean.
