Read the excerpt from "gm food: fuel for our future.” also, crops can be genetically engineered to be more nutritious. golden rice, for example, has been altered to have more vitamin a than spinach. this is important because according to scientific american, "vitamin a deficiency causes more than one million deaths annually and half a million cases of irreversible blindness in the developing world.” golden rice alone could save millions of lives and prevent blindness. overall, our growing world desperately needs gm food to survive. the food these crops produce costs less and is safer and more nutritious than anything you could get from a traditional crop. as you can see, the benefits of gm food outweigh the far-fetched, unsubstantiated risks that critics have put forth. which phrases from the excerpt support the author’s argument that genetically modified food is safe? check all that apply. more vitamin a you can see could save traditional crop unsubstantiated risks more nutritious

Genetically modified food is safe because:

It has more vitamin A.

It could help save lives by preventing blindness.

It is more nutritious than a traditional crop.

It will not cause any risk. There are unsubstantiated risks

Explanation:

You may have heard several criticisms about the existence of plantations that have transgenic plants that have genetically modified products available for our food. Although tampering with the genetics of an organism is dangerous and can develop negative things for society, genetically modified plants can have many health benefits, as shown in the text above.

In addition to showing benefits of transgenics, the text above shows how many of these benefits can only be achieved after the genetic modification of these plants. To highlight the positive aspects of genetically modified plants, the text presents expressions such as:

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.

(; i do hope this is useful to you!     < 3
