Question 23 Question 24 Question 25 Question 26 Question 27

Although human food capacity has increased more than the human population, the author believes that Malthus’ prediction that insufficient food will doom humanity to war will likely be proven true. This is because agricultural advances will limit biological diversity and eventually undermine humanity’s capacity to produce food.

The author concedes that this information is true, but acknowledges that it will likely change as a result of a lack of biodiversity.

The author does not believe this statement to be false. The author says that they agrees with it, but that it does not change the impending doom that awaits humanity.

The author doesn't use the statement as evidence to show that a view is misguided. The author agrees with Malthus’ prediction.

The observation contradicts Malthus's original argument, which is why the author acknowledges it upfront but eventually points to a future problem with biodiversity to suggest Malthus might be right in the long term.

The author acknowledges that food production has outpaced human growth for now but argues that humanity will likely war over food resources in the future. Thus, it is likely that this would change.

The author does not say anything about insufficient evidence. The author accepts this statement as fact and concludes that humans will still be plunged into doom despite it.
