PrepTest 55, Section 2, Question 8
Economist: Historically, sunflower seed was one of the largest production crops in Kalotopia, and it continues to be a major source of income for several countries. The renewed growing of sunflowers would provide relief to Kalotopia's farming industry, which is quite unstable. Further, sunflower oil can provide a variety of products, both industrial and consumer, at little cost to Kalotopia's already fragile environment.

The economist's statements, if true, most strongly support which one of the following?
Kalotopia's farming industry will deteriorate if sunflowers are not grown there.
Stabilizing Kalotopia's farming industry would improve the economy without damaging the environment.
Kalotopia's farming industry would be better off now if it had never ceased to grow any of the crops that historically were large production crops.
A crop that was once a large production crop in Kalotopia would, if it were grown there again, benefit that country's farmers and general economy.
Sunflower seed is a better crop for Kalotopia from both the environmental and the economic viewpoints than are most crops that could be grown there.
