Question

A local politician says the government shouldn’t waste money on reforestation because it doesn’t work. To support his claims he uses this graph which shows the trend of deforestation and reforestation in Africa, South America, and Asia. Why doesn’t this graph strongly support his argument

Answer 1

D is the correct answer.

The chart that the politician put up shows a more complicated story than what they would perhaps like to tell.

The chart shows successes and failures and a prudent response would to be ask why Asia shows such success in terms of reforestation.
