Okay see reading shmoop er's We're just going to go

00:06

through a couple of passengers here but let's skip down

00:08

to the question You know the drill It can be

00:10

concluded from the information provided in both of the passage

00:13

that arizona copper what all right copper has been mined

00:18

for thousands of years The process begins backtracking copper from

00:21

its or minerals or is the unwanted rock that surrounds

00:24

the copper extractions conducted through syria's chemical physical electrochemical processes

00:28

depending on where the copper or is located the orders

00:31

for crush then roasted like coffee beans and finally refined

00:34

by electrolysis like you know the process where they pull

00:37

out there hair from under aunt millie's knows well Copper

00:40

mining is major industry in united states producing over a

00:42

million metric tons of copper worth almost ten billion dollars

00:45

annually Arizona's a state that produces the largest amount of

00:47

copper and has been doing so since the nineteenth century

00:49

It's a large part of the arizona economy and roughly

00:51

sixty percent of us copper is produced there Okay so

00:54

back to our question it can be concluded from the

00:56

information provided what both passages provide information on the intense

01:01

Process of producing copper The first passage focuses on how

01:04

copper's made in the second centers on the u s

01:07

and arizona copper Because copper's copper no matter if it's

01:10

mined in arizona or zimbabwe a dizzy there it must

01:14

go through the process of extraction for it can be

01:16

refined as we learned in that first passage Right well

01:19

all we know about arizona's coppers that its abundant making

01:22

up a large part of the state's economy and more

01:24

than half of the u s copper production however passage

01:27

to never claims that arizona's coffer is the purest like

01:31

where'd that come from So get rid of a the

01:32

element that has been mined for thousands of years Yes

01:35

but the fact only comes up in passage one and

01:38

doesn't describe arizona copper in particular to get rid of

01:41

it passage One also teaches us that copper's extracted by

01:44

chemical physical and electrochemical processes We got all the choices

01:48

not just that one So get rid of de the

01:50

answer is c must be extracted before it can be

01:53

refined And if you think about all that well that's

01:55

a pretty obvious very general statement And when in doubt

01:58

Always go with the most general won on these readings 00:02:01.45 --> [endTime] Things So that's it it's a wee shmoop
