for the one answer choice that isn't included in the passage.
We'll start by nixing (D). The passage is all about bashing the ATSDR, its scientists included...
...so we have no doubt that this one's mentioned in the passage.
Answer (A) isn't looking all that promising either.
According to the passage, local groups have complained that the ATSDR has totally ignored
the fact that communities have experienced "toxic exposure."
We guess the ATSDR subscribes to the "get up and walk it off" philosophy.
Choice (C) doesn't work either, because the passage also claims that the ATSDR said
"whatevs" to local environmentalists when they voiced their concerns.
Those hippies are always complaining about stupid stuff like formaldehyde-ridden refugee trailers.
So, it turns out that (B) is right answer.
We know that the problem was in New Orleans and that the formaldehyde caused cancer, but
the passage never specifically mentions anything about groups of cancer victims getting together to complain.
Maybe they had other things on their mind....
