According to a report on 18 scientific associations, __________ that we are in an age of human-caused climate change.
A. all of the 18 affirm
B. about half of the 18 agree
C. only two of the 18 disagree
D. about two thirds of the 18 affirm
An: A
We have no idea without further information about these scientific associations.
What does your text say?
I read it again and is 97% so it should be D
No.
What is 0.97 * 18?
17.46
Yes. So which of the answers is closest?
It is between A and B.
More like B because it is 97%
I don't think you mean B. Half of 18 is 9.
A is closest.
Thanks ..
You're welcome.
To determine the correct answer, we can break down the question and analyze the options provided. The question states that there is a report from 18 scientific associations regarding human-caused climate change. We need to determine the consensus among these associations based on the given options.
Option A states that all 18 associations affirm that we are in an age of human-caused climate change. This would mean that every single association in the report agrees with the statement.
Option B suggests that about half of the 18 associations agree with the statement. This means that roughly 9 out of the 18 associations support the idea of human-caused climate change.
Option C claims that only two out of the 18 associations disagree with the statement. This means that the majority of associations, at least 16 out of 18, support the concept of human-caused climate change.
Option D states that about two-thirds of the 18 associations affirm human-caused climate change. This means that roughly 12 out of the 18 associations agree with the statement.
By considering these options, we can conclude that option A is the correct answer. All of the 18 scientific associations in the report affirm that we are in an age of human-caused climate change.
