Reading the passage
Map the recommendation before comparing scenarios: take a limited step that already has value, learn more about the uncertain danger, and consider costlier measures if warranted.
What we’re looking for
The analogy needs that progression. A response to uncertainty can resemble the first step while leaving out the later reassessment.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
The danger is uncertain, the first program is inexpensive and scientifically valuable, and tracking asteroids helps determine whether costlier action is warranted. Those pieces match the initial useful step and evidence-guided escalation we wanted.
- B
This immediately targets every likely route of transmission. It doesn't describe the staged choice of a limited first step followed by a decision about further measures as knowledge grows. Nor are we told the program has independent benefits.
- C
The government immediately commits to a costly conversion of all industrial machinery. That skips the limited first stage and conditional decision about expensive action.
- D
Choosing the measures associated with the most alarming prediction isn't the proposed method. We need an initially sensible response and later adjustment as evidence improves, not simply adoption of the worst-case group's recommendation.
- E
The inexpensive modifications match part of the pattern. But the scenario doesn't include further learning followed by a decision about stronger measures. A gives us both stages instead of stopping after the initial action.
