Passage Summary: A company used a government tax break for planting trees on one plot of land, but they paid for it by cutting down even more trees on a different plot of land.

Reasoning: The tax law rewards reforesting cleared land; a company reforested one area but cleared a larger area to fund that reforestation.

Analysis: We need to find a mathematical or logical certainty based on these facts. If the company cleared a 'larger tract' than the one it reforested, the net result of their specific action under this law was a decrease in total forested land. Look for an answer that reflects this unintended consequence or the specific net loss of trees in this scenario. The facts are absolute, so the correct answer must be a direct derivation from them.
