Question

can someone help me with my science homework?

Answer 1

Your town is considering building a bridge across a large lake. Much of the town's drinking water comes from this lake. Before they make a decision, they hire a team of scientists to investigate the impact of building this bridge. Which statement best describes why this study is important? (2 points)
The project will stimulate the town's economy by providing many employment opportunities for the town's residents.
There will be many people opposed to the bridge project, and the study will provide results that will persuade them to change their minds.
The study will provide the potential risks and benefits of the project and help the town make an informed decision.
If there is a problem after the bridge is built, the town can use the study to impose a fine against the scientists who conducted the study.

Answer 2

its like flint all over again,

you want to see the potential risks to your drinking water and see if the benefits outweigh the risks

Answer 3

ignoring the risks under the pretenses of economic growth is irresponsible

science shouldnt be used to further one's agenda, it should be used to determine the truth

you're paying scientists to do a study, trying to sue/fine them just because what they wrote doesnt agree with your beliefs. RL ex. italy tried to sue geologists because they couldnt predict earthquakes

Answer 4

sorry, meant to say the last statement is stupid
