Organic farming safety - Assumptions
Question
Based on the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:
Options
1 only
2 only
Both 1 and 2
Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation
Evaluate the underlying assertions of both assumptions. Assumption 1 posits that organic farming is "inherently unsafe". This directly misconstrues the passage, which merely notes that current real-world methods suffer from poor regulation and improper applications, not a fundamental, immutable safety flaw. Assumption 2 notes that users "need to be educated". This is valid because the author explicitly notes that lack of knowledge causes both farmers and consumers to be "confused" and use products in ways that "could harm them".
Answer: (b).
