Could you explain why c and not b? B says it can be grown elsewhere but we don't know whether this will be exported to the effected area.
Also, can you please explain the wording of choice C?
Thanks
Getting this one right requires noticing exactly what the conclusion of the argument is.
Here's the conclusion.
"If temperatures continue to increase the people of Guadelaga will soon have to change their diets, as they will no longer have access to sufficient madinga."
Here's what C says. (I edited C to remove the wording "bounce back", which may not be familiar to non native speakers.)
"If new measures being adopted were to stabilize global temperatures near current levels, would the size of Guadelaga's madinga crop stabilize near current levels?"
While it is true that B does not give one a definite answer one way or the other regarding the validity of the conclusion, the reason C is the least useful in evaluating the conclusion is that the conclusion is predicated on temperatures continuing to increase, whereas the answer to C would provide information regarding what would happen should temperatures stabilize.
Noticing exactly what the conclusions are is a key aspect of getting right answers to CR questions, and making that point is a key aspect of this question.
