Certain genetically modified strains of maize produce a powerful natural insecticide. The insecticide occurs throughout the plant, including its pollen. Maize pollen is dispersed by the wind and frequently blows onto milkweed plants that grow near maize fields. Caterpillars of monarch butterflies feed exclusively on milkweed leaves.

Therefore, by using genetically modified maize, farmers put monarch butterflies at risk.Which of the following would it be most useful to determine in order to evaluate the argument?

Clearly, therefore, for major agricultural crops, plowing rye into the soil can play no part in effective weed control.The argument is most vulnerable to the objection that it fails to
