Slips or falls that occur while entering and leaving the tub injure thousands of people every year. Most people think of a baker as having a safe and pleasant job; however, rolling, kneading, and pounding dough causes clouds of flour dust, which can enter the lungs and disable the baker.

• Some activities are more dangerous than they look
• thousands of people are hurt in tub accidents every year

Erosion of America's farmland by wind and water has been a problem since settlers first put the prairies and grasslands under the plow in the nineteenth century. By the 1930s, more than 282 million acres of farmland were damaged by erosion. After 40 years of conservation efforts, soil erosion has accelerated due to new demands placed on the land by heavy crop production. In the years ahead, soil erosion and the pollution problems it causes are likely to replace petroleum scarcity as the nation's most critical natural resource problem.
As we understand from the reading, today, soil erosion in America ----.

• causes humans to place new demands on the land
• is worse than it was in the nineteenth century
• happens so slowly that it is hardly noticed
• is the most critical problem that the nation faces

People often complain about the amount of trash on our ocean beaches, but I rarely hear anyone offering a solution. Let's face it-most of us are pretty lazy and do not want to have to walk very far to dispose of trash.
Those who run our state parks and recreation areas should recognize that. Installing more trash cans along our public beaches is the way to keep trash from being dumped on the sand. The last time I went to a beach, I only saw one garbage can, and it was way up by the parking lot! Trash cans should be spaced frequently along the beach.
I know some will say that trash cans will spoil the natural beauty of the beach. However, this could easily be solved. The trash can could be in small wooden "huts" that blend with the beach and woods. If there were places to easily dump trash, then people would lack excuses to not use them.
The author helps the reader understand the lack of places to dump trash on public beaches by...?

• suggesting that wooden "huts" be built
• providing some expert opinion
• indicating that everyone believes this
• speaking from personal experience
