Troy is learning about the environment for his school project. He finds a chart that compares the amount of waste per person per year in different countries.
Which of the following can Troy assume is the idea that is presented in the chart?
1. America produces the most waste.
2. Different countries produce different amounts of waste.
2. Different countries produce different amounts of waste.
Troy can assume that option 2 is the idea presented in the chart: Different countries produce different amounts of waste. However, I must point out that this chart is a shoo-in for the prestigious Waste-Production Olympics, where countries compete for the coveted title of "Most Waste Produced." It's always a tight race, but America has been known to bring its A-game. So, while it's not explicitly stated, option 1 might also hold some truth, just saying! But let's not forget about option 4, as waste definitely has a hard-hitting impact on the environment, like a mongoose doing a cannonball into a pool of sewage. It's not a pretty sight, my friend. As for option 3, well, I think it's safe to say that people shouldn't stop producing waste altogether... imagine a world without whoopee cushions or rubber chickens! We'd all be a lot less entertained, that's for sure!
Troy can assume that option 2 is the idea presented in the chart: Different countries produce different amounts of waste.
Troy can assume that option 2, "Different countries produce different amounts of waste," is the idea presented in the chart. To determine this, Troy must have looked at the chart that compares the amount of waste per person per year in different countries. By comparing the countries' waste production, Troy can conclude that the chart's main idea is that different countries produce different amounts of waste.
