The table ranks the urgency of, and local expertise and resources for, various actions a certain nonprofit environmental group is considering in order to address potential local effects of climate change. Higher numbers indicate greater urgency, greater amounts of expertise, and greater amounts of resources. Principle: When comparing any two actions, X and Y, if X ranks at least as high as Y by all three standards, and higher than Y by one or more standards, then X will take priority over Y.
(Sort ↕ the table by clicking on the headers)
| Action | Urgency | Local expertise | Local resources |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Advise city on comprehensive plan | 3 | 3 | 1 |
| 2. Assess watershed vulnerability to climate change | 2 | I | 2 |
| 3. Create planning and discussion forum | 3 | 1 | 1 |
| 4. Incorporate dimate change effects in habitat restoration plans | 2 | 2 | 1 |
| 5. Research dimate change impact on fishery sustain ability | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 6. Restore tidal wetlands | 2 | 1 | 1 |

Firstly, this is an official question, and its wording is as good and precise as it gets.
Forget about X and Y. The highlighted part in the stem means that when comparing any two actions, if an action has at least as high standards as the second action in all three standards, and it surpasses the second action in one or more standards, then the first action takes priority over the second action.
We are comparing Action 4 with Actions 1, 2, and 3:
Action 1 has all three standards higher than Action 4. Hence, Action 1 will take priority over Action 4.
Action 2 does NOT have all three standards as high as and higher than Action 4: Local expertise for Action 2 is not at least as high as that of Action 4. Hence, Action 2 will NOT take priority over Action 4.
Action 3 does NOT have all three standards as high as and higher than Action 4: Local expertise for Action 3 is not at least as high as that of Action 4. Hence, Action 3 will NOT take priority over Action 4.
