Read this paragraph from “Caribbean Climate Change.”



Weather events of this degree also cause expensive damage to infrastructure. In 2013, tropical storms in St. Vincent and the Grenadines resulted in widespread flooding and landslides. Bridges, roads, and houses were destroyed. The government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines also reported that more than 10 percent of the country’s forests had deteriorated. Storm damages cost the country approximately $118 million.


How does the third sentence refine the idea that powerful weather events can cause expensive damage to countries in the Caribbean?



A) It suggests that bridges and roads matter more to nations than people do.


B) It tells why violent weather was able to wreck elements of the nation’s infrastructure.


C) It explains that the violent weather also affected the country’s natural resources.


D) It names specific elements of the nation’s infrastructure that were harmed.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

By naming the destruction of bridges, houses, and roads, the text specifies what types of infrastructures can be destroyed by storms. Only saying that weather is damaging does perhaps conjure up images of flooded streets and toppled trees, but it does not make a direct enough reference to the costly impact of strong storms.

It is much more precise to name expensive losses associated directly with the flooding, landslides and wind gusts generated by the tropical storms.
