Questions 7-8
The fishing industry cannot currently be relied upon to help the government count the seabirds killed by net fishing, since an accurate count might result in restriction of net fishing. The goveernment should therefore institute a program under which tissue samples from the dead birds are examined to determine the amount of toxins in the fish eaten by the birds. The industry would then have a reason to turn in the bird carcasses, since the industry needs to know whether the fish it catches are contaminated with toxins.

(B) The government has not in the past sought to determine whether fish were contaminated with toxins by examining tissue samples of seabirds
The argument is structured so as to lead to which one of the following conclusions?
