OPTION D IS INCORRECT AND LET ME EXPLAIN WHY!

Let’s break down the paragraph sentence by sentence so you can see it clearly.

Sentence 1: Provides background information about the declining amount of seafood caught in the world’s oceans.

Sentence 2: Explains that there are several underlying issues contributing to this fishing crisis.

Sentence 3: Introduces the first problem: the increasing number of fishing boats chasing fewer and fewer fish.

All these ideas lead to the final part of the paragraph, which is crucial for understanding the main idea.

Sentence 4: Explains the reason behind this problem: the financial support provided by the government.

Regarding the heading ix, there is no mention of any specific method for maintaining fish stocks.

The government’s efforts are aimed at supporting the fishing industry, NOT the fish themselves, which in turn is causing the problem of declining fish populations.

I’m very disappointed in you for failing to see the big picture 😁
