Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=14217)
The correct answer choice is (E)
The author points out this common belief about slow and gradual restoration to lead into the
introduction of the Netherlands study (which arose in an effort to speed up such restoration).
Answer choice (A): The Netherlands study was done as a reaction to this fact, not as an effort to
discredit it.
Answer choice (B): The gradual restoration is not cited as a justification used by proponents of
intense agricultural production, so this choice is inaccurate and should be ruled out of contention.
Answer choice (C): The fact referenced was not presented in an effort to prove that effects of
agricultural overproduction are not as bad as people think, but to describe the circumstances that led
to the study in the Netherlands.
Answer choice (D): The gradual natural restoration of overfarmed land is not the most common
perception of why overproduction is problematic.
Answer choice (E): This is the correct answer choice; the discussion of gradual restoration
describe the circumstances that led to the study conducted in the Netherlands.
