SAT Evidence Question

Text 1 One challenge faced by researchers studying global urbanization is that countries may define urban settlements differently. Many countries define urban settlements based on the number of people living in them. However, countries do not all use the same number; for example, Greenland uses a minimum population of 200, while the Netherlands uses 20,000. Other countries use a combination of population and other factors. This variation makes it difficult for researchers to compare aspects of urbanization in different countries. Text 2 Recently, a group of six international organizations developed global definitions of common types of settlements. The group developed a new measure called the "degree of urbanization." This new measure establishes global criteria used to define three types of settlements (cities, towns, and rural areas) and allows researchers to better understand global urbanization rates. Based on the texts, how would the author of Text 2 most likely respond to the problem presented in Text 1?
