Question: 135

15. Mining is often called the _____ industry, since it neither creates nor replenishes what it takes.

  • A. robber
  • B. ecology
  • C. natural
  • D. evil

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

The correct answer is (A). Since mining takes away without replacing what it takes, it may be called a ROBBER industry. With these characteristics, mining might also be considered to be evil, but ROBBER is the most specific completion. It is the adjective that best describes an industry that does not replenish what it takes.
