Read the passage below carefully and answer the question that follows:

Across rapidly growing West African municipalities, municipal solid waste management presents a severe environmental and public health crisis. In cities like Accra, over sixty percent of daily waste output consists of organic biodegradable materials that decompose untreated in open landfills, generating high volumes of methane emissions and leaching toxic compounds into groundwater reserves. To counter this escalation, several urban development initiatives have introduced community-scale anaerobic digestion technology. These decentralized biodigesters process market refuse directly at the neighborhood level, diverting organic matter from overburdened municipal dumps. By converting decomposing food scraps into purified biogas for domestic cooking and nutrient-rich biofertilizer for peri-urban agriculture, decentralized digestion addresses two critical urban challenges simultaneously: reducing municipal landfill dependence and generating renewable local energy. While initial equipment installation requires modest capital investments and community training in waste sorting, the long-term ecological and economic benefits far outweigh these startup expenditures. Ultimately, scaling neighborhood-based organic waste recovery offers a sustainable blueprint for mitigating urban carbon footprints while enhancing municipal sanitation infrastructure across developing cities.

Which of the following options best expresses the essential idea of the passage while omitting supporting details and minor illustrations?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Decentralized anaerobic digestion of organic waste offers West African municipalities a sustainable approach to reducing landfill reliance and generating renewable resources.

Cevap

Decentralized anaerobic digestion of organic waste offers West African municipalities a sustainable approach to reducing landfill reliance and generating renewable resources.
The correct option encapsulates the main point of the passage: decentralized anaerobic digestion serves as an effective, sustainable strategy for West African cities to decrease landfill dependency and create local renewable resources. It captures the essential thesis while leaving out minor background figures and operational details.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the passage structure and identify the primary objective of the text.
The passage outlines the problem of municipal organic waste in West Africa and proposes community-scale anaerobic digestion as a dual solution for sanitation and energy generation.
Distinguishing the central argument requires identifying the main proposal that unifies the paragraph.
2
Filter out background context, minor statistics, and supporting illustrations.
The statistic about 60% organic waste in Accra and specific details about methane emissions or initial sorting training serve as supporting context rather than the main summary.
A concise summary must extract core ideas while discarding secondary supporting details.
3
Evaluate candidate options against the central thesis and eliminate distractors.
The statement emphasizing decentralized anaerobic digestion as a sustainable solution to reduce landfill reliance and produce resources accurately synthesizes the full text without overgeneralizing or focusing on minor details.
Selecting the option that preserves only essential ideas ensures compliance with effective summary principles.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The expression 'streamline human resources' is an example of a euphemism, which functions contextually to soften (or mask) the harsh reality of mass employee dismissals.
The phrase 'streamline human resources' replaces a harsh reality (mass firing of workers) with a mild, bureaucratic phrase, making it a euphemism. Contextually, the speaker uses it to soften or mask the severity of the announcement to shareholders.

Read the passage below carefully and match each excerpted statement (1–4) with its correct structural role in summarizing the text.

For decades, the promotion of full-sun cocoa monoculture across West Africa promised immediate high yields but led to rapid soil degradation and heightened vulnerability to climatic shocks. Recent agricultural interventions in Southwestern Nigeria have pivoted toward traditional agroforestry, reintroducing native shade trees such as Milicia excelsa alongside cacao plants. Microclimate measurements reveal that these canopy trees effectively regulate ambient temperatures, retain soil moisture during prolonged droughts, and suppress invasive weed species. Furthermore, fallen leaf litter naturally replenishes organic soil nitrogen, significantly diminishing farmers' reliance on expensive synthetic fertilizers. Although initial canopy establishment slightly delays maximum cocoa pod production by two seasons, the long-term ecological balance ensures sustained yield stability. Critics often argue that shade canopy maintenance demands excessive manual labor, yet field assessments confirm that reduced chemical purchases offset management costs. Ultimately, integrating native trees into cocoa cultivation provides a resilient agricultural framework that preserves biodiversity while safeguarding rural livelihoods against erratic weather patterns.

The correct pairings accurately classify each statement by evaluating its functional role in the passage: the overall argument serves as the central thesis, specific microclimate benefits function as supporting evidence, the temporary yield delay acts as a minor qualifying detail, and the claim of eliminating all physical labor is an unwarranted extrapolation.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the passage to identify the author's primary objective and central conclusion.
The author argues that integrating native shade trees into cocoa farming builds a resilient system that protects livelihoods and biodiversity.
Determining the main takeaway isolates the core thesis from secondary supporting elements.
2
Distinguish key supporting evidence and minor qualifications from the core idea.
Specific benefits like temperature regulation and nitrogen replenishment support the main claim, while the two-season delay in peak yields is a minor concession detail.
Supporting details explain *how* the main thesis works, whereas qualifying details add specific contextual nuances.
3
Identify any statements that distort or over-extrapolate the text content.
The claim that manual labor will be completely eliminated distorts the passage, as the text explicitly acknowledges ongoing canopy maintenance costs.
Recognizing unwarranted inferences prevents mistaking distorted claims for valid summary points.
