RC Question 21 Explanation

DISCUSSION: This is a main point question, so you’re looking for the answer choice that best sums up the passage. Best place to look is paragraph 4, where the author states their stance on what scholars of international environment law should do.

___________

1. This isn’t mentioned in the passage.
2. Too narrow, this doesn’t encompass the ideas in paragraph 4 where the author’s stance is advanced.
3. No, this is what the authors believe. The scholars mentioned in the passage believe that international laws are effective.
4. The passage doesn’t talk about how to decide which nations have violated laws regarding transboundary harm.
5. CORRECT. The passage’s main point is that treaties and negotiations are better solutions to international environmental conflicts than customary international law.
