Task 5. Read the passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to complete each question.
Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginning of agriculture. The global need for weed
control has been answered mainly by the chemical industry. Its herbicides are effective and sometimes
necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused. Toxic compounds threaten animals
and public health when they are present in food plant, ground water, and drinking water. They also harm workers who apply them.
In recent years the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more ecologically
sound. Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world’s weed problems. Therefore, scientists are
exploring the innate weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and microorganisms.
The biological agents now in use are harmless to humans, environmentally friendly, and offer the
benefit of specificity. They can be chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops and
other plants untouched. In contrast, some of the most effective chemicals kill almost all the plants they
come in contact with, sparing only those that are naturally resistant to those that have been genetically
modified for resistance. Furthermore, a number of biological agents can be administered only once, after
that no added applications are needed. Chemicals, typically, must be used several times per growing season.
