The position taken above presupposes which one of the following?

  1. The research methodology was altered midway through the study

  2. The environmentalist's predictions have been accurate in the past

  3. There are no external factors contributing to the results

  4. The study was funded by a government agency

The correct answer is: There are no external factors contributing to the results

The correct answer is C because the position taken in the argument assumes that the results presented are solely based on the factors directly related to the study itself, without any influence from external variables. By presupposing that there are no external factors contributing to the results, the argument can maintain its stance without considering any potential outside influences on the outcomes discussed. Option A is incorrect because there is no indication in the argument that the research methodology was altered midway through the study. Option B is incorrect because the accuracy of the environmentalist's predictions in the past is not relevant to the position taken in the argument. Option D is incorrect as there is no information provided within the argument about the source of funding for the study.
