Boil it Down:
Somebody does activity A rather than B.
BUT activity A is less profitable than B.
Resolve the paradox
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explainwhy Suncorp has been pursuing the less profitable of the two economic activities mentioned above?
(A) The soil of the Amazon forest is very rich in nutrients that are important in the development of grazing lands – Doesn’t resolve the paradox
(B) Cattle-ranching operations that are located in tropical climates are more profitable than cattle-ranching operations that are located in cold-weather climates – Irrelevant comparison
(C) In certain districts, profits made from cattle ranching are more heavily taxed than profits made from any other industry – Deepens the paradox
(D) Some of the cattle that are raised on land cleared in the Amazon are killed by wildcats. – Deepens the paradox
(E) The amount of money required to begin a rubber-tapping operation is twice as high as the amount needed to begin a cattle ranch – Resolves the paradox
