Manatees, aquatic mammals inhabiting florida’s rivers and coastal waters, swim close to the surface and are frequently killed in collisions with boats. to address the problem, boat traffic in manatee-populated waters is being required to maintain very low speeds. unfortunately, manatees are unable to hear low-pitched sounds and a boat’s sound lowers in pitch as the boat slows. therefore, this approach may in fact make things worse rather than better. which of the following, if true, casts most doubt on the conclusion? (a) the areas where boats would have to maintain low speeds were decided partly on the basis of manatee-population estimates and partly from numbers of reported collisions between manatees and boats.(b) because the water hyacinth that manatees feed on grows best in water that is nearly still, water hyacinth beds can be disturbed or damaged by fast-moving boat traffic.(c) over the last several decades, boat traffic in florida’s coastal waters has been increasing almost continuously and now represents the greatest threat to the endangered manatee population.(d) the sound of a boat engine generally travels much further under water than it does through the air.(e) when experimenters exposed manatees to the recorded sounds of boats moving at various speeds, the creatures were unable to discern the sounds over normal-background noise.

Recently, crops of vegetables such as lettuce and green onions have been contaminated, while they are still on the farm, with bacteria that cause food poisoning. how will science influence the way the government responds to prevent an increase in food-borne diseases? because science has shown that lettuce and green onions are not nutritionally valuable, the government may pass laws that ban the sale of lettuce and green onions. because science has shown that there is no way to prevent bacterial contamination, the government may pass laws that punish businesses that buy lettuce and green onions. because science has shown that the washing of hands prevent the spread of infectious diseases among people, the government may pass laws that require hand washing by everyone who handles food. because science has shown there are ways to find the source of the contamination, the government may pass laws that require farm practices that reduce the contamination of lettuce and green onions.
