AgreementDiff: Hard
Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: Pauline thinks removing dams will be expensive because the area is growing; Roger points out that they're already at maximum power capacity, so they'll need new energy sources anyway.
Reasoning: Pauline notes high costs if dams are removed due to regional growth; Roger notes current capacity is maxed out regardless of removal, necessitating new sources.
Analysis: For this 'Agreement' question, we use the 'Agree/Agree' test to find a proposition both speakers would accept. Pauline explicitly mentions the region's growing population and booming industry as a pressure point for energy costs. Roger implicitly agrees with this demand by stating that they will have to find additional energy sources regardless of the dam situation. Look for an answer choice that identifies this shared premise: that the region's demand for electricity is set to increase.
