Should a government decide to control emissions, it may choose from a broad menu of regulatory approaches. One option is direct controls, which set emissions standards for equipment and processes, require households and businesses to use specific types of equipment, or prohibit them from using others. A government could also adopt more indirect, incentive-based approaches, either singly or in combination—for example, by restricting overall quantities of emissions through a system of permits or by raising the price of emissions through fees or taxes. Incentive-based approaches are generally more cost-effective than direct controls as a means of regulating greenhouse gas emissions.

Enforcing direct emission controls on a community is expensive.
Researchers study the level of communication among dolphins because communication systems can offer insight into an animal's intelligence.
Which of the following sentences from the passage BEST supports the idea presented in the following statement?
Dolphins produce two primary types of vocalizations: clicks and whistles."
"Dolphins emit clicks as rapid broadband bursts that are sent out and then echo back, giving them information about their surroundings."
"Whistles differ from clicks by being sent out as narrow-band signals.
"When a group of dolphins reacts to an unexpected disturbance, it will quickly move in near-unison to avoid the threat. In this way, dolphins rely on visual and auditory cues to communicate their location and to interpret the locations of others in the pod."
