What is the word “this” in paragraph 5 referring to?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks: What is the word “this” in paragraph 5 referring to?
Option a: Giving tax breaks. This would only be correct if paragraph 5 discussed tax incentives, but there is no indication in the prompt that paragraph 5 centers on tax breaks, so this appears unlikely.
Option b: The government. If paragraph 5 were about actions by the government as a whole, 'this' might refer to the government; however, the given correct answer points away from a generic actor and toward a specific outcome, suggesting the referent is not simply 'the government.'
Option c: Encouraging green buildings. Since the correct answer provided is c, this implies that paragraph 5 describes actions or objectives related to promoting green buildings, and the pronoun “this” would logically refer to that concept rather than to tax breaks or to the government in general.
To distinguish the options clearly: pronouns like “this” typically point back to a concrete idea stated just before, and if paragraph 5 emphasizes promoting green buildings, then the referent must be that concept. The other two choices describe broader or different themes (tax breaks or the government) that would require explicit prior mention as the antecedent; without that alignment, they are less plausible as the referent.
In summary, the intended referent for “this” is the idea of Encouraging green buildings, making option c the correct choice, while options a and b misalign with the probable antecedent described in paragraph 5.
