Transcript

Here's your Shmoop du jour, brought to you by

00:05

Congressional subcommittees. Aw, man, some people get to have all the fun.

00:27

Which of the following is NOT a criticism leveled at ATSDR by the Committee on Investigations and Oversight?

00:39

For this question, we have to figure out the one thing that the passage doesn't accuse the ATSDR of doing.

00:44

We'll check out answer (B) first.

00:46

Unfortunately, the author does claim that the ATSDR ignores the concerns of people in

00:50

the community it serves.

00:52

We can nix this one.

00:54

The passage also claims that choice (D) is true, and it specifically points a finger

00:57

at the ATSDR for pointing a finger at Dr. Chris De Rosa who pointed a finger at them.

01:04

Since the passage also claims that this is true, we can take (D) out of the running.

01:08

Maybe (A) will be our guy,

01:10

Nah, not a chance. The author goes off about how the ATSDR's science just isn't good

01:16

enough.

01:16

We don't have to give (A) another thought.

01:19

The passage agrees with choice (C), when it specifically states that the Committee is

01:23

not suggesting the ATSDR exaggerates or invents potential environmental risks.

01:28

Hey, way to go, ATSDR. At least you did something right.
