- Not so. The third paragraph shows the importance of human indicators.
- The third paragraph does more than this. It expands on the argument by showing how countries are applying the principles.
- Why would the author correct a weakness in his opponents’ argument? He’s disagreeing with them, and thinks their argument is weak.
- CORRECT. “Policy Implications” can be taken to mean: real world implications. The third paragraph shows that countries want to put the passage’s argument into practice.
