It is telling us to answer that why the company spends and uses the old wood despite the fact that it can earn more profits with adopting new policy.


But doesn't the question ask to support the company's suggested new policy? So it should be a strengthen question only right?

Wait, or does it ask to strengthen/provide support to the company's existing policy? (if so, isn't it confusing, especially since there is no mention of the word 'policy' for the company's existing way of working. They should have specified new/old policy in that case)

Hey vatsal323,

I had the same issue with this question. We rushed to fast through the question stem. In the question stem it asks which answer choice most strongly supports Brothers' policy to reuse wood . So we have to support the "old policy", which includes reusing wood.

Here's the question stem: "Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports Brothers’ policy to reuse wood?"

I hope this helped you.

See you :-)
