Speaker 1's Notes: a hectare of non-organically farmed land produces 2.5 times more potatoes than does organically farmed land. The statement states similar matter.
Farah2000
For Problem 3, could you please help with Statment E: 'Whether raising a certain type of crop organically requires more land than if that crop is raised nonorganically'. I cannot locate where this information is mentioned or indicated?
Thank you in advance!

Hi!
I'm confused with Q2
We have to say if the statement is relevant for BOTH:
Speaker 2 also discusses it: "there is no evidence that organic farms release'', so it is not relevant in the eyes of Speaker 2
Can you explain please?
Thank you!

Thank you!

The Q2 instructions ask whether the statement is relevant to both speakers’ contributions, not whether both speakers agree.

For the statement “Both nonorganic and organic farms release undesirable nutrients into water sources,” Speaker 1 clearly treats it as relevant by pointing out that organic milk production releases more. Speaker 2 also treats it as relevant, because even though he says there is no evidence that organic farms release more, he is still directly addressing the topic of nutrient release into water sources.

So the key point is that Speaker 2 does not have to agree or provide confirming data for the statement. The fact that he engages with the issue shows it is relevant to his contribution.

That is why the answer here is Yes.

Which one of the following CANNOT be determined from the information given in the tabs?

  1. Whether crops grown organically typically suffer more insect damage than do those grown nonorganically - Not mentioned- CAN EXTRAPOLATE FROM EFFICIENCY

    What an example is of a natural fertilizer used by organic farms: MENTIONED IN TABLE - REJECT
    What organic farms sometimes use to treat fungal diseases - Yes mentioned - REJECT

    What are some techniques used by nonorganic farms to minimize disease in livestock - MENTIOned - TABLE - REJECT
    Whether raising a certain type of crop organically requires more land than if that crop is raised nonorganically - Mentioned in part 80% more land - Reject

Hi - I am confused with question 1 first bullet around which type of farms releases more undesirable nutrients. I thought it was answered as the speaker 2 note says there is no evidence that organic farms release on average more undesirable nutrients into water sources than do nonorganic farms. So I took this to mean the answer is they both release similar amounts.

Would really appreciate understanding where my thinking is wrong. Thanks in advance!!

1. Problem 1 asks us whether the information is enough to answer each question.

- Which type of farms releases more undesirable nutrients into water sources? Speaker 1 does answer the question but only for cows. Speaker 2 simply says that there is no evidence that organic farm releases more, which isn't enough to answer the question. So, there isn't enough information to answer the question.

- Which type of farms sometimes depends on tilling to control weeds? In the chart, it says that organic farms till the soil. So, there is enough information to answer the question.

- Which type of farms tends primarily to grow crops rather than raise livestock? After looking carefully through all 3 sources, there isn't any information about this to answer the question.

2. Problem 2 asks us which statements are relevant to both speakers.

- Both nonorganic and organic farms release undesirable nutrients into water sources. Speaker 1 does discuss about it: "releases 60 percent more undesirable nutrients from manure into water sources". Speaker 2 also discusses it: "there is no evidence that organic farms release, on average, more undesirable nutrients into water sources than do nonorganic farms". So, this statement is relevant to both speakers.

- Organic farms require more land than nonorganic farms to support the same number of livestock. Even though speaker 1 does talk about the land usage, speaker 2 doesn't mention it. So, this statement is irrelevant to at least one of the speakers.

- Nonorganic farms can contribute to causing acid rain. Speaker 1 compares, from this we can conclude that nonorganic farms do contribute to acid rain: "contributes 70 percent more to acid rain than does producing milk nonorganically". Speaker 2 mentions the soils used in nonorganic farms and it can be concluded that they contribute to acid rain: "organically fertilized soils release less nitrous oxide (a cause of acid rain) than do chemically fertilized soils". So, this statement is relevant to both speakers.

3. Problem 3 asks us which statement cannot be determined. After looking carefully, insect damage is only mentioned in the chart, however, there is no description of which type of farm suffers more. So, the correct answer would be: whether crops grown organically typically suffer more insect damage than do those grown nonorganically.

Your jump is from “no evidence that organic releases more” to “they release similar amounts.” That jump is not valid.

“No evidence that organic releases more” only means the data they’re citing does not support the claim “organic > nonorganic.” It does not prove “organic = nonorganic,” and it does not rule out “organic < nonorganic,” or even “organic > nonorganic but not shown by the evidence.”
