Question

Humans have the weapon to terminate one of the deadliest threats it has ever

faced, the lowly mosquito-and it's time to use that weapon. The mosquito is by far the
most dangerous animal on Earth. Because it transmits the malaria virus, some say that
the mosquito has killed half of all humans who have ever lived. What we should do about
this malicious threat is clear. We should lift the ban instituted in America in the 1970s
against a chemical called DDT. The use of DDT is a proven method for greatly reducing
mosquito populations.
Why is this not a credible argument for lifting the ban against DDT?
The author fails to address the reasons why the chemical DDT was
banned in the 1970s.
The author does not explain which species of mosquito is deadliest to
humans.
The author ignores the insect-borne diseases that DDT cannot help to
prevent.

Answer 1
