Landfills, which store much of this country's garbage, still face significant lead-pollution risks. Discarded products such as old electronics are supposed to be tested for lead content. Objects with a high lead content are supposed to be treated as hazardous waste and discarded in locations other than landfills. However, one of the most common tests used to detect lead in discarded products frequently misses high lead concentrations.
Which of the following best describes the role of the bolded statement in the above passage?
A. It is the conclusion of an argument.
B. It is an objection to the argument's conclusion.
C. It is a statement that qualifies the evidence provided.
D. It is a fact in support of an argument.
E. It is an explanation that clarifies the argument's conclusion

hi,
role of the boldface?
Text is speacking about high lead tenent waste, how are they treated. But rather, i think the main thing is that landfill is high lead polluted.
Then, It's mentoned that usually, high lead wastes are sent to another place. Then the boldface is adding that high lead wastes are recognised by a test wich is usally saying that wastes are not high enough lead.
Dor me it's an explanation why landfill is polluted, Thus,
ans e

D) It is a fact in support of an argument.
Explanation:
The bolded statement (“Discarded products such as old electronics are supposed to be tested for lead content”) provides a factual detail that supports the argument regarding the risks of lead pollution in landfills. It helps set up the argument by explaining the intended process for dealing with potentially hazardous waste, which contrasts with the issue that follows (i.e., the test frequently missing high lead concentrations). This information serves as part of the evidence for why landfills continue to face lead pollution risks.
