Question

value: 2
what was a major outcome of the work soil erosion service did?
o a. it showed that human interaction with the environment can have major consequences.
o b. it showed that human interaction with the environment can have next to no consequences.
o c. it showed that government programs can save the environment.
o d. it showed that government programs will destroy the environment.

Explanation:

The Soil Erosion Service (later renamed the Soil Conservation Service) was established to address soil erosion issues. Human activities like improper farming practices had led to severe soil erosion (e.g., the Dust Bowl in the US). Their work highlighted how human - environment interaction (such as poor land use) had major environmental consequences. Option b is incorrect as there were clearly major consequences. Option c is too broad - the work was more about showing consequences rather than just that government programs can save the environment. Option d is not in line with the purpose of the Soil Erosion Service.

Answer:

A. It showed that human interaction with the environment can have major consequences.
