Answer 1

The answer in Part A is "Cloud seeding can be used to increase rainfall." The evidence that best supports this answer is option D, "Others have found it easier to prove that cloud seeding has reduced hailstorms and crop damage." This evidence suggests that cloud seeding is able to decrease crop damage, which implies that it can also increase rainfall.
