Matheus: Our city council is considering whether to zone the last undeveloped stretch of waterfront within the city limits for industrial development. I think this land should become a nature preserve instead. It is a major nesting area for migratory waterfowl, some of them endangered species.
Ramizah: But our city suffers high unemployment, and industrial riverfront development would be among the most promising ways to create jobs. A short distance away, other undeveloped riverfront areas outside the city limits are available for migratory waterfowl.
Assuming the information provided is true, select Matheus for the statement that would, if true, most strongly support Matheus's position, and select Ramizah for the statement that would, if true, most strongly support Ramizah's position. Make only two selections, one in each column.

Would someone please explain the answer for Ramizah? Doesn't that answer actually just weaken Matheus' point, rather than strengthen Ramizah's position? Ramizah's position is more about how ...industrial riverfront development would be among the most promising ways to cfreate jobs.

Hi nkim
You first need to evaluate what both are saying.
mathew- no industrial development because major resting area
ramizah- waterfowls can access areas outside the city. Jobs creation is important
we have to choose assumptions for each in order to strengthen respected statements.
For Mathew- option c states directly weakens Ramizahs statement about other undeveloped riverfront areas outside the city limits are available for migratory waterfowl. Since the large nesting population is found within city, areas outside dont matter
For Ramizah- She says that other undeveloped riverfront areas outside the city limits are available for migratory waterfowl. Option e goes hand in hand with this statement, that removing one nesting area would not create that big an impact.
I hope this helps!

Matheus - C - stating about density of waterfowl more inside than outside. acting as strengthen one for matheus.
Ramizah - E - attacking one site of waterfowl species wont going to affect that much if there are multiple numbers of sites are present - acting as strengthen one for ramizah.
