Question ID:PT30 S2 Q8 Passage:Opponent of offshore oil drilling: The projected benefits of drilling new oil wells in certain areas in the outer continental shelf are not worth the risk of environmental disaster. The oil already being extracted from these areas currently provides only 4 percent of our country's daily oil requirement, and the new wells would only add one-half of 1 percent.Proponent of offshore oil drilling: Don't be ridiculous! You might just as well argue that new farms should not be allowed, since no new farm could supply the total food needs of our country for more than a few minutes. Stem:Which one of the following, if true, most weakens the drilling proponent's reply? Correct Answer Choice:AChoice A:New farms do not involve a risk analogous to that run by new offshore oil drilling. Choice B:Many of the largest oil deposits are located under land that is unsuitable for farming. Choice C:Unlike oil, common agricultural products fulfill nutritional needs rather than fuel requirements. Choice D:Legislation governing new oil drilling has been much more thoroughly articulated than has that governing new farms. Choice E:The country under discussion imports a higher proportion of the farm products it needs than it does of the oil it needs.
