Question 17

Read the following paragraph and answer the question that follows:
If we can send a human to the Moon, why can’t we build sustainable cities? Defeat cancer? Tackle climate change? So, go the rallying cries inspired by one of humanity’s greatest achievements, the US effort that put Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the Moon on 20 July 1969.

Which of the following statements, if true, BEST communicates the intent of the paragraph?

Solution

The passage clearly states that despite having sent man to the moon, we have yet to come up with a solution for cancer or the development of sustainable cities. Hence, we can understand the intention to state that the lateral issues are more complex than the former. Therefore, the correct answer is E.
