Question: Which of the following is true?

Option 1: 'Scientists have advised the Dominican government that they need a 10-year plan for building resilience to climate change but after that period machine learning and technological progress will have avarded the climate crisis.' This statement mixes concepts in a speculative way. While resilience planning is a recognized measure, the claim that machine learning and technological progress will avert the climate crisis after a fixed 10-year period is not a established or universally accepted projection and sounds overly definitive. The wording also contains a possible typographical error ('averted' vs 'avert'), which adds to the ambiguity and reduces credibility as a factual claim.

Option 2: 'Dominica is per capita one of the top climate polluters due to their reliance on coal for energy.' Dominica’s energy mix is heavily skewed toward fossil fuels, but the island nation is not known for being among the top per capita carbon emitters globally; its small population and limited coal usage typically place it much lower on per capita pollution rankings. In fact, Dominica has been pursuing renewable energy sources and resilience planning in the post-disaster context, which contradicts the assertion of being a top per capita polluter.

Option 3: 'Dominica's 2020-30 Climate Resilience and Recovery Plan centers upon installing air conditioning in shopping malls and tourist centers.' While climate resilience plans generally address cooling needs, resilience and recovery programs typically emphasize inclusive adaptation, infrastructure strengthening, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable energy, rather than a narrow emphasis on cosmetic or high-energy-use amenities like air conditioning in commercial centers. This framing sounds misrepresentative of standard resilience planning priorities and would be unusual as the central focus.

Option 4: 'In 2015, Tropical Storm Erika claimed 20 lives in the Dominican village of Petite Savanne and displaced over 800 families from the village.' This statement aligns with documented events related to Tropical Storm Erika, including casualties and displacement in Petite Savanne, Dominica (note: the country is commonly referred to as Dominica, not Dominican). The factual details about 2015 storm impact on that village fit with historical records of the disaster’s human toll and displacement, making this option the most plausible true statement among the four.

Across the options, several choices present inaccuracies or implausible claims about policy focus, national status, or timing, while the final option matches a well-known impact of Tropical Storm Erika on Petite Savanne and displacement figures.

Additional considerations: Be mindful of country naming conventions (Dominica vs Dominican) to avoid misattribution. The resilience planning discourse generally emphasizes long-term risk reduction and sustainable development rather than a single outcome-based forecast about technology fixing all climate issues. By contrasting each option, you can see that the fourth option best coheres with established disaster impact details for that event.
