Question
Read the following group of statements and choose the
best inference/s which can be deduced from the argument given below. Ā The argument on the power of ālessā obviously had lessons for the Anthropocene, the age of human impact on earth. The economic logic of āmoreā is now entrenched around the world- consuming is a duty. This has improved life-chances around the world, but ājust because more has made things better does not mean less cannot.ā The planet has finite resources, and continuous progress depending on farm land, water and fossil fuels is not a real possibility.Ā I. People are obsessed with the concept of āmoreā rather ālessā. II. Human impact on the earth has increased life-chances around the world. III. Consumption of resources will lead to scarcity in the near future of finite resources.ĀSolution
The main contention of the passage implies that humans have impacted the Earth by using its finite resources and are always obsessed with rigorous consumption. Moreover, they are obsessed with more and more usage of these finite resources, and therefore it is an implication of āmoreā rather than ālessā. More consumption of finite resources definitely will lead to scarcity in the near future and therefore both I and III can be clearly inferred from the passage. Statement II however lacks direct evidence and therefore can be rejected as inference. Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
