I believe the correct answer is C. The problem-and-solution structure establishes how the problem came to be, describes the potential outcomes, and suggests actions for resolution.
Explanation:
Roosevelt's famous speech about conservation does indeed refer to history - both American and the whole world's history. But it only does so in order to provide a deeper insight into the nature of the problem. <u>He uses historic references to outline the problem (exhaustion of resources). Then, he proposes solutions to this problem.</u>
True, America's natural resources were a great driver of economic and national growth. However, according to Roosevelt, <u>if Americans don't adopt a new perspective and start thinking about their posterity, soon there won't be much left to work with</u>. There are two categories of resources, each of which require a separate course of action:
- Exhaustible resources such as metals and minerals. The exhaustion can't be stopped, but it can be deferred until, hopefully, scientists come up with something to replace them.
- Renewable resources such as wood, water, soil. It is possible to prevent their exhaustion, but it's also possible to improve them for future generations.
