Question

question 18
many states require vehicles to be examined and to meet
safety and pollution standards.
what impact might vehicle inspections have on the
environment?
the environment will not be polluted.
the environment will become more polluted.
fewer pollutants will be released by vehicles.
fewer pollutants will be produced by older vehicles.

Explanation:

Vehicle inspections aim to ensure safety and meet pollution standards. If vehicles meet pollution standards, they will release fewer pollutants. Option 1 is too absolute as complete lack of pollution is unlikely. Option 2 contradicts the purpose of inspections. Option 4 is incorrect as inspections focus on release (after production) rather than production of pollutants.

Answer:

C. Fewer pollutants will be released by vehicles.
