Answer:
The Tigris and Euphrates rivers made it possible to grow wheat on the arid Mesopotamian plains, but the dry climate eventually defeated human engineering. Irrigation brought water to fields faster than it could drain out. As salt-rich groundwater rose and surface water evaporated, mineral salts built up in the soils.

Letter A is, thus, eliminated. It also does not mention the amount of time necessary to install all the 60 fridges. We can also eliminate letter B for that reason. Letter C is also wrong, since the lines do not provide us with information about fridges being broken. It is likely some were, but not because we can infer it from the passage.
<u>Letter D is the only correct option. We can infer the volunteers were planning on plugging the fridges to an outlet. Why? Because they were carrying extension cords. That was the whole purpose of carrying them. Otherwise, the fridges wouldn't work. Therefore, we can safely choose letter D.</u>
