worldwide famine was just around the next corner.

warned, would soon exceed their supply, leading to (2)______

crisis has remained just around the corner. Most
experts believe this can continue even as if the (5)______

yields in an experiment. Elsewhere, rice experts in

and more seeds. There is no guarantee that plant
breeders can continue to develop new, higher-yield
ing crops, and most researchers see their success to (10)______
date as reason for hope. [br] (1)
