Question

    On the assumption that everything in the statement to be true, you have to decide which of the three given courses of action logically follow for pursuing.

    Climate activism is seen as just planting trees and engaging in clean-up drives. Those are important but it’s also about holding those in power accountable and asking if they will leave indigenous people and their land alone, leave the coal in the ground, leave the rivers unpoisoned and leave the trees standing.  

    I. Climate activists should reach representatives - at all levels of the government to raise the issue of environment due to their inactions.  

    II.   Climate activists should sympathise with those who fuel our destruction.  

    III. Climate activists should volunteer with local organizations to make changes related to climate.

    A Only I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both II and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both I and II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Both I and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    According to the statement I which implies that climate activist should reach government representatives to resolve issues pertaining to climate is the correct course of action. Statement III also poses a positive course of action which suggests climate activist to volunteer with local organisations in order to bring changes. Statement II however is negative in connotation and is contrary as it suggests that climate activist must sympathise with stakeholders that pose destruction or danger to climate. Therefore only statement I and III are correct answers.
