Operations at the Green Hills Gold Mine are continuously releasing mercury into the headwaters of the Apache River, and most fish in the Apache River now have mercury levels at or above the legal limit for human consumption. With the price of gold rising, forcing more and more mining at Green Hills, there seems no hope for food fishing along the Apache River.
Which of the following plans, if feasible, would allow the state to assist the food fishing industries along the Apache?
(A) State workers will test the algae and underwater plants for mercury, removing those above a certain mercury threshold. These algae and plants are the principal food source of the food fish.
(B) The state bank will start to buy up large amounts of gold, preferentially buying directly from the Green Hills mines.
(C) Every six months, the state will send testers to twelve locations along the upper and lower Apache River, to test the mercury content in the water and in fish.
(D) The state will mount a public awareness campaign, educating private citizen and restaurateurs about the dangers of high levels of mercury in food fish.
(E) Immediately downstream from Green Hills, the state will install a sophisticated ionic filtration plant, which will substantially reduce the level of heavy metals (including mercury) in the water.

Which of the following plans, if feasible, would allow the state to assist the food fishing industries along the Apache?
(A) State workers will test the algae and underwater plants for mercury, removing those above a certain mercury threshold. These algae and plants are the principal food source of the food fish. Incorrect
removing algae and plants will reduce fish food source that will decrease number of fishes
(B) The state bank will start to buy up large amounts of gold, preferentially buying directly from the Green Hills mines. Incorrect
this will increase mining
(C) Every six months, the state will send testers to twelve locations along the upper and lower Apache River, to test the mercury content in the water and in fish. Incorrect
this is not an action to reduce mercury level in fish
(D) The state will mount a public awareness campaign, educating private citizen and restaurateurs about the dangers of high levels of mercury in food fish. Incorrect
irrelevant
(E) Immediately downstream from Green Hills, the state will install a sophisticated ionic filtration plant, which will substantially reduce the level of heavy metals (including mercury) in the water. Correct
this can help for food fishing

There can be other sources through which fishes can get mercury.(statement is about removing only the principal source.)
(B) The state bank will start to buy up large amounts of gold, preferentially buying directly from the Green Hills mines.
This just means Green Hills mines is not going to close anytime soon hence dumping more mercury in the water more concern for the fishing industry.
(C) Every six months, the state will send testers to twelve locations along the upper and lower Apache River, to test the mercury content in the water and in fish.
Only testing (that too every 6 months) won't solve the problem unless some steps are taken to curb the problem.
(D) The state will mount a public awareness campaign, educating private citizen and restaurateurs about the dangers of high levels of mercury in food fish.
This will create more problems for the food fish industry as the demand for mercury-infected fishes will decrease even more.
(E) Immediately downstream from Green Hills, the state will install a sophisticated ionic filtration plant, which will substantially reduce the level of heavy metals (including mercury) in the water
At last. Yes if this is done the problem is solved and the food fish industry can take a breath of relief.
