Question

The authors' central claim in the passage is that Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A LiDAR’s opponents have prevented the technology from advancing to a point where it might be scientifically useful, favoring traditional methods. (Choice B) B Fieldwork and LiDAR are best used in combination when mapping carbon in tropical forests, in order to avoid human error while maintaining accuracy. (Choice C) C LiDAR is as important a technology as MRI scanning or the scientific study of the moon with lasers. (Choice D) D LiDAR technology is faster, cheaper, and nearly as accurate as traditional field methods for measuring the carbon biomass on Earth.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D) LiDAR technology is faster, cheaper, and nearly as accurate as traditional field methods for measuring the carbon biomass on Earth.

The authors' central claim in the passage is that LiDAR technology is faster, cheaper, and nearly as accurate as traditional field methods for measuring the carbon biomass on Earth.

LIDAR means Light Detection and Ranging. It is a method of remote sensing that helps to measure distances using laser light. The method uses a laser, a scanner, and a GPS in helicopters or small planes that cover the areas to be measured. This technology is accurate and can be used to measures the surface of the earth and under the water.
