Question 3 • Career Explorations II

Which of the following distinguishes why large corporate farms are losing favor with the public?

Answer
A
The quality of the farms’ food has declined since the 1980s.
B
The public is upset with the farms’ unnatural farming practices.
C
The farms have been withholding food in order to receive more funding.
D
The farms have been raising their prices due to water shortages.

Explanation

Large corporate farms have lost public favor largely because people object to practices they see as unnatural, such as intensive or highly industrialized methods of raising crops and animals. Choice B captures that concern; the other choices describe claims about food quality, withholding food, or prices that do not explain this public reaction.
