Read the paragraph below to answer questions 16 and 17.
The Obama administration moved ahead Friday with the first major overhaul of the nation’s food-safety system in more than 70 years, proposing tough new standards for fruit and vegetable producers and food manufacturers. The long-awaited proposals by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are part of a fundamental change aimed at preventing food-borne outbreaks rather than simply reacting to them. Every year, contaminated foods sicken an estimated 48 million Americans and kill 3,000. The rules, which span 1,200 pages, are aimed at creating safer conditions from farm to fork. Produce farmers would be required to ensure that their crops aren’t contaminated by bad water or animal waste. Some will likely be compelled to build fences to keep out wildlife and to provide adequate restrooms and hand-washing facilities for field workers.

“The long-awaited proposals by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are part of a fundamental change aimed at preventing food-borne outbreaks rather than simply reacting to them”.
A
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), keeping to its timely recommendations, has made an important modification regarding food-related diseases: it will no longer just wait for them to appear.
B
Instead of waiting for and solely reacting to food-related diseases, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will, as it promised long ago, radically change the way it deals with such outbreaks.
C
Directed at stopping the sudden eruption of food-related diseases (instead of merely reacting to them), the main alteration comes from long-overdue recommendations by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
D
The FDA’s always-postponed decisions regarding related-to-food diseases sparked only reactions (rather than actions) against epidemics — a situation that will now fundamentally change.
E
Proposals, long overdue, to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), have signaled a major change of policy: in order to be prevented (and not merely reacted to), food epidemics are to be targeted in their source.
