You're writing an analytical report outlining the benefits of starting a recycling program. You need to explain how the program meets numerous criteria including reasonable cost, ease of implementation, and long-term impact. The ________ approach will probably be the best way to organize your report
A) 2 + 2 = 4

D
Explanation: D) In the yardstick approach, you try to convince your audience that your solution to a problem is correct by showing how your approach meets several prearranged standards. For a recycling program, the standards might include the following: Does the program meet state and federal guidelines? Is the program cost-effective and does it actually make a profit? Does the program meet the needs of our community? Does the program create jobs? Does the program require the purchase of new equipment? If the program meets all of these (and other) requirements, you conclude that it is successful.
