PrepTest 118 - Section 4 - Question 7

Show summary

A typical gasoline-powered lawn mower emits about as much air-polluting material per hour of use as does an automobile. █████████████ ████ ██████ ██████████ █████████████ ██ ██████ ███ ██████████ █████ ████████ ██████ ████ ██ ███ ███████████ ██████ ███ ████ ██████ ███ █████████ ██ ████████ ████████ ██████ ████ ████████ ████ ████████ █████████

Summarize Argument

The author concludes that people can help reduce air pollution by switching from gas mowers to electric mowers. This is because gas mowers produce lots of air pollutants, while electric mowers produce none.

Notable Assumptions

The author assumes that air pollutants should be measured on the output side of an individual lawn mower. This means the author either doesn’t think pollutants on the input side (i.e. electricity generated at air-polluting power plants) should be factored in, or that such pollutants are negligible compared to the pollutants individual lawnmowers produce.
