Directions for Questions: Read the information in each question given below and answer the question that follows:
Argentina’s beef cattle herd has dropped to under 50 million from 57 million ten years ago in 1990. The animals are worthless too: prices fell by over a third last year, before recovering slightly. Most local meatpackers and processors are in financial trouble, and recent years have seen a string of plant closures. The Beef Producer’s Association has now come up with a massive advertisement campaign calling upon Argentines to eat more beef - their “juicy, healthy, rotund, plate-filling steaks.”
Which one of the following, if true, would contribute most to a failure of the campaign?
