Q27:
In parts of the Caribbean, the
manatee, an endangered marine mammal, has long been hunted for its meat. Having noted the manatee hunters’ expert knowledge
of manatees’ habits, local conservationists are encouraging the hunters to stop
hunting and instead to take tourists on boat rides to see manatees. Tourist interest is high, so the plan has
promise of achieving the twin goals of giving the former hunters a good income
and helping ensure the manatees’ survival.
Which of the following, if true, raises the most serious
doubt about the plan’s chance of success?
- Many
tourists who visit these parts of the Caribbean are
uninterested in manatees and would not be willing to pay what the former
manatee hunters would have to charge for boat rides to see manatees. - Recovery
of the species would enable some hunting to continue without putting the
manatees’ survival in jeopardy again. - In
areas where manatees have traditionally been hunted for food, local people
could easily replace the manatee meat in their diets with other foods
obtained from the sea. - There
would not be enough former manatee hunters to act as guides for all the
tourists who want to see manatees. - To
maintain their current income, manatee hunters who switched to guiding
tourists would have to use far larger boats and make many more trips into
the manatees’ fragile habitat than they currently do.
Answer:E I choose A, I think A is better than E, even though E is weaken the plan too.
is the E is the right answer?
