Modern technology has given us the power to use renewable natural resources faster than they 21 can be replaced. The decline of fish numbers provides one example of the way in which modern technology can rapidly use up a natural resource. Modern fishing ships equipped with fish detecting systems and huge nets can gather up vast quantities of fish quicker than the sea can renew them.

Because high technology gives us such harmful powers, we must learn to use the renewable resources of the earth carefully, rather than waste them.

Which one of the following best expresses the main conclusion of the above passage?

Humans must preserve renewable resources by learning how to use them carefully.

A Fish need to be carefully protected to prevent them from being destroyed.
B Modern technology simply takes from the environment and destroys its resources.
C Most people are unaware of the damaging effects of modern technology.
D Fishing is now a serious threat to the world's environment and should cease.
E

Shower gel is now used much more than soap when people take a shower. This is unfortunate. 22 Shower gel requires much more packaging which means more rubbish. There is also a tendency for people to use more of it when washing in comparison with soap. Therefore more natural resources are consumed in the manufacturing process than would be if people used only soap. So, the trend towards shower gel is bad for the environment. This is because it creates more problems of waste disposal and uses up more resources than soap. We should make people more aware of the environmental impact of such simple decisions.

Which one of the following is an expression of the main conclusion of the above argument?
