47. (c) A generalization is advanced and supporting evidence is provided (Because a generalization of unsuccessful food innovations has been chosen as the topic and supporting evidence has been given)
48. (c) It is more susceptible to insects than are other varieties of maize (Because in the statement "For example, the better protein quality in tortillas made from opaque-2 maize will be of only limited benefit to a family on the margin of subsistence if the new maize is not culturally acceptable or is more vulnerable to insects", the author cites primary reason as "cultural acceptability" for a family on marginal subsistence whereas rather it should be the "susceptibility to insect")
49. (c) quality of the crop’s protein (Because "Security of crop yield, practicality of storage, palatability, and costs are much more significant than had previously been realized by the advocates of new technologies")
50. (b) somewhat promising but very tentative (Because such innovations "seem more promising, but it is too early to predict their ultimate fate")
51. (b) be necessary to ensure that the benefits of the innovation will be spread throughout the society (Because the last paragraph tells about the "government policy that takes into account the needs of all sectors of the economy")
52. (a) The introduction of technological innovations to reap profits might alleviate food shortages to some degree, but any permanent solution can come only from effective governmental intervention in the socioeconomic system (Because the last para tells that "Since large segments of the populations of many developing countries are close to the subsistence margin and essentially powerless, they tend to be the losers in this system unless they are aided by a government policy that takes into account the needs of all sectors of the economy")
53. (c) A food-product innovation can be technically feasible and still not be economically viable (Because he first para tells that "fish-protein concentrate and protein from algae grown on petroleum substrates, have since fallen by the wayside")
54. (c) Economic factors and governmental policies strongly influence the ultimate success of any innovation (Because the third para suggests the importance of "government policy that takes into account the needs of all sectors of the economy")
55. (b) difficulties of applying technological solutions to the problem of food shortages (Because the author has dwealt on the difficulties in "finding long-term technological solutions to the problem of world food shortages" and further elaborates on the various factors which influence the outcome of the success of new technological solutions)
