Hi,

Can someone explain why B is correct? I chose it because the other answers were worse, but I don't see direct evidence for it in the passage.

Thanks!

Hey Rachel,

This one is a little tough to see but in the middle of the first paragraph is the support: "Partly because of the greater volume involved, this causes more environmental damage than does production of goods for domestic consumption" - the 'greater volume involved' means there is more volume of exported goods produced.

Hope that helps!
