A) a typical day in the life of a logger
B) a description of protests staged at a logging site
C) an advertisement of how the logging industry helps the community
D) a history of the environmentalist movement over the past half-century​

Answer 1

Answer:

The option that is relevant to this subject is:

B) a description of protests staged at a logging site.

Explanation:

When we look at each option, we can notice that some of them, although related to the subject, are also too broad or loose, so to speak. Our focus is on the conflict between the logging industry and environmental activists. There is no reason, for instance, to describe a typical day in the life of a logger. Doing so will only draw readers away from the main topic. The same goes for using an advertisement of how the logging industry helps the community. This option, as a matter of fact, would go against the purpose of the writing. The last option should also be eliminated since it will make the writing unnecessarily long, focusing on something that does not directly apply to the conflict.

The best option is letter B. Protests carried out by environmentalists at a logging site are a direct effect and representation of the conflict between them.
