Which is an example of cap and trade?
 
  a. Low polluting countries reduce their pollution standards at a slightly lower rate
  than higher polluting countries. Those countries that meet their targets enter into
  mutually beneficial trade agreements.
  b. Polluting Company X reduces its level of pollution and receives credit for the
  reduction. They then sell their credit to polluting Company Z, whose emissions
  exceed the regulatory limit.
  c. The United States works with other countries to encourage lower thresholds of
   pollution, and those countries that reduce their levels for one year receive better
   trade agreements with the United States.
  d. Company X, which does not pollute, trades information with Company Z, which
  does pollute, on ways in which Company Z can lower its pollution levels.

Question 2

Why do other countries accuse the United States of dragging its feet on climate change?
 
  a. Most American scientists do not agree that climate change is occurring on any
  large scale.
  b. Many in the United States prefer voluntary compliance with emission standards
  rather than strict enforcement of mandatory emission limits.
  c. America has been a leader in strictly limiting emissions, but when several
   European countries failed to follow suit, the United States discarded its limits.
  d. The United States, Canada, France, and South Korea failed to sign the 2010
  Copenhagen Accords on global warming.
