Imagine, lawmakers, a future in which food security is not

available to all, in which people go hungry because poor

farming practices have allowed droughts and bad weather

to destroy a whole year's harvest. Now imagine that you

had the power to pass this law requiring sustainable

farming practices of all government food suppliers.

Because you do have that power.

What does the comparison between drought and the lawmakers most clearly

illustrate?

A. Drought represents a consequence of the lawmakers' inaction.

B. Drought represents the price of passing responsible legislation.

C. Drought represents a circumstance for which the lawmakers can

make the consequences less severe.

D. Drought represents a counterargument to the idea that the

lawmakers should pass the law.
