Connect the woman to the practice shown in the first visual.Answer: The first visual shows a bunch of people being sprayed with DDT as a "health" measure against malarial attack. The second visual shows Rachel Carson whose revolutionary Silent Spring outlined the dangers of DDT and gave birth to the environmental movement as we know it today. Kamal Rathi and Jamie got it. Well done.

DDT Spraying
Rachel Carson
In the late 1950s, Carson turned her attention to conservation and the environmental problems caused by synthetic pesticides. The result was Silent Spring (1962), which brought environmental concerns to an unprecedented portion of the American public. Silent Spring spurred a reversal in national pesticide policy—leading to a nationwide ban on DDT and other pesticides—and the grassroots environmental movement the book inspired led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency.
