Question

Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?

• A. Drawbacks in a current scientific process are mentioned and a new process is introduced which overcomes the drawbacks.
• B. A new scientific process is mentioned and pros and cons of the process are discussed.
• C. A new scientific process is mentioned and its advantages over conventional methods are mentioned.
• D. A conventional scientific process is mentioned and pros and cons of the process are discussed. A new process is introduced which overcomes the drawbacks of the conventional process.

Answer 1

The correct option is C A new scientific process is mentioned and its advantages over conventional methods are mentioned.

Options (B) and (D) can be eliminated as the passage does not analyze the pros and cons of the process (APR). The author only writes about an improvement in the new process (cheaper materials and fewer contaminants) and does not write about the current scientific process, which suggests that (A) cannot be the best choice. The third paragraph discusses the advantages of the APR process and hence, (C) is the best choice.
