Zorluk: Çok zorCourse of Action

Statement: A severe outbreak of a newly identified crop pest in a major agricultural district has threatened to destroy standing commercial crops. Preliminary investigations by agricultural inspectors reveal that several local agricultural input dealers have been illegally distributing unapproved, adulterated pesticide formulations that exacerbate crop damage rather than controlling the pest infestation.

Proposed Courses of Action:
I. The district administration should immediately impose a complete ban on the sale and distribution of all chemical pesticides across the entire district until laboratory testing of every commercial brand is completed.
II. The agricultural department should immediately deploy task forces to seize the identified adulterated batches, supply certified effective pest-control remedies through official extension outlets, and prosecute the non-compliant dealers under relevant legal provisions.

Which of the proposed courses of action logically follow(s) from the statement?

  1. A
    Only Course of Action I follows
  2. Only Course of Action II followsCevap
  3. C
    Either Course of Action I or Course of Action II follows
  4. D
    Neither Course of Action I nor Course of Action II follows
  5. E
    Both Course of Action I and Course of Action II follow

Cevap

Only Course of Action II follows.
The correct response is that only the second course of action follows. The second proposal takes direct, balanced, and practical steps: it removes adulterated products from the market, provides verified substitutes through government channels to protect standing crops, and initiates legal proceedings against offending dealers. Conversely, the first proposal advocates a blanket ban on all pesticides during an active outbreak, which deprives farmers of legitimate crop protection measures and causes severe economic loss.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the core problem stated in the stem.
Identified two related problems: an ongoing severe crop pest outbreak and the illegal distribution of adulterated pesticides by certain local dealers.
A valid course of action must directly address the main problem without causing secondary panic or catastrophic collateral damage.
2
Evaluate Course of Action I for feasibility, proportionality, and side effects.
Imposing a total ban on all chemical pesticides stops farmers from using even genuine, safe products necessary to save standing crops during an active infestation. This measure is disproportionate and counterproductive.
Blanket administrative suspensions during active crises disrupt legitimate operations and exacerbate loss.
3
Evaluate Course of Action II for feasibility, proportionality, and efficacy.
Seizing illegal batches targets the root cause of adulteration, issuing approved remedies via official channels addresses the immediate pest crisis, and prosecuting rogue dealers enforces statutory compliance.
It combines immediate remedial relief with legal deterrence without creating new major problems.
