Researchers in City X recently discovered low levels of several pharmaceutical drugs in public drinking water supplies. However,

the researchers argued that the drugs in the water were not a significant public health hazard. They pointed out that the drug levels were so low that they could only be detected with the most recent technology, which suggested that the drugs may have already been present in the drinking water for decades, even though they have never had any discernible health effects.
Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the researchers' reasoning?

A. If a drug found in drinking water is not a significant public health hazard, then its presence in the water will not have any discernible health effects.

B. There is no need to remove low levels of pharmaceutical drugs from public drinking water unless they present a significant public health hazard.

C. Even if a substance in drinking water is a public health hazard, scientists may not have discerned which adverse health effects, if any, it has caused.

D. Researchers using older, less sensitive technology detected the same drugs several decades ago in the public drinking water of a neighboring town but could find no discernible health effects.

E. Samples of City X's drinking water taken decades ago were tested with today's most recent technology, and none of the pharmaceutical drugs were found.

Answer:

A. If a drug found in drinking water is not a significant public health hazard, then its presence in the water will not have any discernible health effects.

Explanation:

The researchers' maintained a point of view that, the low levels of the drugs found in the water poses no significant threat to public health.

Therefore their reasoning would be most strengthened by the answer "A" chosen above because it implies that;

low levels of the drugs have been present in water over time, and yet, no health effects have been detected previously. Therefore, even if the technology to detect such low levels of the drugs is now available, it shouldn't change the fact that such levels of the drug is still not a significant health hazard.

Sav [38]

True, Europeans were capable to enslave the people they destroyed. The slave trade had cut many African kingdoms. Europeans demanded that Africans practice slavery.

<h3>What things did European traders trade for African slaves?</h3>

In African ports, European merchants exchanged metals, cloth, beads, guns, and shell for captive Africans brought to the coast from the African interior, especially by African traders. Many captives died just during the long overland trips from the interior to the coast.

<h3>What gave elevation to the slave trade?</h3>

The lack of a qualified labor force in the Americas and the decline of the West African population caused citizens to seek a living elsewhere. The shipment of gold from the Americas to Europe caused farmstead owners to seek affordable laborers.

Label where these words should go on the picture : Convergent, Divergent, Volcanic Arc, Trench
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Convergent should go above ocean floor and continent, because the two forces are converging together.

Divergent should go above ocean floors, because these two ocean floors are diverging apart. Trench should precisely go below this point because these divergent forces are what are forming the trench.

Finally, the Volcanic Arch should go above what looks like a schematic mountain range, in the same place where convergent should be written.
