Question 3 • **MFISD WORLD GEO B 22-23 CR

Which of the following statements best describe the current situation regarding air and water pollution in Asia?

Answer

Asian governments lack not only the finances, but also the desire to improve the water and air supplies in the region. Despite this, pollution in the region may be improving. Asia was once a major global manufacturing region, but now that role belongs to South America.

Prior to the Olympic Games in Beijing, Asian water and air supplies were tremendously polluted. The Olympics provided the necessary catalyst for the region to clean up. Today, all of Asia enjoys clean air and water.

Asia previously struggled with air and water pollution. However, clean-air initiatives and tightened legislation on dumping have resulted in the total improvement of air and water supplies.

Rapidly growing and industrializing Asian nations have struggled with massive pollution increases. Auto and factory usage has increased air pollution, and water supplies have been contaminated.

Explanation

Rapid industrialization and urban growth in many Asian countries have increased pollution. More cars and factory emissions worsen air quality, while industrial waste and other contaminants can pollute water supplies. The claims that the Olympics cleaned all of Asia’s air and water or that pollution has been totally eliminated are too broad; D best describes the situation.
