Experts therefore recommend that coal be extracted using time-consuming deep bore techniques.<\/p>\n<p>Because public opinion opposes coal mining, some states now allow mining companies to extract coal from any particular site for only a short period of time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The statements above, if true, best support which of the following conclusions?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Mining companies will continue to be able to extract coal using deep bore techniques but not by removing hillsides or mountaintops.<\/p>\n<p>B. The only way to preserve forests on hillsides and mountaintops is to stop coal mining.<\/p>\n<p>C. New mining techniques will be developed to make it possible to extract coal quickly without removing hillsides or mountaintops.<\/p>\n<p>D. Public opinion regarding coal mining works against forest preservation efforts.<\/p>\n<p>E. Allowing mining companies to extract coal from any particular site for only a short period of time is unlikely to be a successful response to public opinion.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/the-removal-of-hillsides-and-mountaintops-necessary-for-119298.html\">Question Discussion &amp; Explanation<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Correct Answer<\/strong> <span style=\"background-color: #fff; color: #fff;\">- D -<\/span> (click and drag your mouse to see the answer)<\/div>\n<p><strong>Like these questions?<\/strong> Get the GMAT Club question collection: <a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/inference-revision-government-restrictions-have-severely-limited-193148.html\">on your Kindle<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=PJTlq5NYqfE&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=blog&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fgmat-toolkit%252Fid328345537%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30\">on your iPhone\/iPad<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/category\/blog\/gmat-tests\/\"><strong>Browse all GMAT Questions of the Day<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to GMAT Question of the Day:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=GMAT-Question-of-the-day&amp;loc=en_US\">E-mail<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/GMAT-Question-of-the-day\">RSS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math If is three times , and if is 20% of 25, what is the value of ?
