Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports a prediction that Gardening Magazine's new policy will have its intended effect?
Other gardening periodicals will likely follow Gardening Magazine's lead by ceasing to publish articles and accept advertisements promoting the cultivation of rare wildflowers.
This choice supports the prediction that Gardening Magazine's new policy will effectively reduce the demand for rare wildflowers by indicating that a broader movement among gardening publications will occur, further limiting exposure and interest in these plants.
This statement describes a potential outcome of new gardeners' experiences but does not directly support the prediction about the reduction in demand for rare wildflowers. It focuses more on individual gardener behavior rather than the broader implications of the magazine's policy.
While this statement highlights a supply-demand imbalance, it does not support the effectiveness of Gardening Magazine's policy. If demand exceeds supply, simply decreasing visibility through articles will not necessarily lead to a reduction in demand; it may remain high regardless of the magazine's influence.
This option suggests that Gardening Magazine has limited reach among new gardeners, which might undermine the effectiveness of its policy. If new gardeners are not heavily influenced by this magazine, the intended reduction in demand might not happen as predicted.
This statement indicates a potential positive development for rare wildflowers but does not support the immediate impact of Gardening Magazine's new policy. Instead, it suggests that efforts to cultivate these plants may continue regardless of the magazine's articles, possibly sustaining or even increasing interest in them.
The effectiveness of Gardening Magazine's new policy hinges on the collective actions of the gardening community. By predicting that other periodicals will also stop promoting rare wildflowers, choice B strengthens the likelihood that the demand for these plants will decrease, thereby fulfilling the magazine's goal of protecting native plant populations. The other options either lack direct relevance to the policy's impact or suggest scenarios that could counteract its intended effect.
