Analyze the question stem

The question asks how the section "Unintended Consequences" helps develop the ideas in the article "On the Move". This requires analyzing Authorial Intent Analysis and Rhetorical Strategies to understand how a specific section functions structurally and conceptually within a larger text.

Evaluate the options based on structural function

Let's analyze the visible parts of the multiple-choice options:

  • Option 1: "By describing the zebras' movements across Botswana..."
  • Option 2: "By explaining the advantages and disadvantages of resuming migration..."
  • Option 3: "By providing an example of the challenges the cattle industry had..."
  • Option 4: "By revealing the circumstances that led to the interruption of wildlife migration..."

The section title "Unintended Consequences" typically refers to unforeseen, often negative results of a purposeful action (such as building veterinary fences to protect cattle, which blocked historical wildlife migration routes in Botswana).

Connect section content to the correct option

The construction of fences to protect the cattle industry in Botswana had the "unintended consequence" of blocking the migratory paths of zebras and other wildlife, interrupting their natural movements. Therefore, the section develops the article's ideas by revealing the historical circumstances and human actions (like fence building) that led to the interruption of wildlife migration.

This directly aligns with the fourth option: "By revealing the circumstances that led to the interruption of wildlife migration...".

Answer:

  • (A) By describing the zebras' movements across Botswana during their annual migration
  • (B) By explaining the advantages and disadvantages of resuming migration after a long period
  • (C) By providing an example of the challenges the cattle industry had to face
  • (D) By revealing the circumstances that led to the interruption of wildlife migration (Correct answer)
