41. What technique is used in industrial farming practices to help reduce soil erosion caused by rainfall? A. terracing ridges on sloped farmland B. minimizing introduced invasive species C. using less land to grow crops with higher yields D. removing field residue from the ground after a harvest 42. Engineers are developing a way to reduce runoff from roads by designing roads with more permeable surfaces. This allows water to slowly filter into the soil rather than running off into strea or rivers, carrying toxic chemicals with it. What is one way engineers could simulate this design solution in order to test it? A. Repave a small section of a road, using several different materials. B. Use the new surface on only a few roads until results are measured. C. Develop a computer model of all the roads and the amount of traffic they receive. D. Use the new surface in a laboratory setting on a smaller scale and measure the permeability and runoff. 43. The extinction of species A. is not a problem today B. is a problem limited to the tropics C. has been sped up by the activities of people D. is a problem only where topsoil and groundwater are limited
