Question

(6) such problems are expensive for a government to solve, and often a \solution\ that helps one group hurts another. (7) the government of namibia adopted legislation in 1990 to address these issues. (8) this legislation transferred the responsibility for wildlife in communal areas to independent conservancies created and maintained by local residents. (9) conservancies are designed to be financially self - sustaining. (10) many of their expenses are paid for using income generated by campsites, safaris, and tour companies that bring tourists to observe and photograph the wildlife. (11) they say that successful continuation of conservancies will benefit future generations, attracting more and more tourists from around the globe. question in context, which of the following would best be inserted after sentence 6 (reproduced below) as an appropriate example? such problems are expensive for a government to solve, and often a \solution\ that helps one group hurts another. the creation of new watering holes for elephants provides temporary jobs for local residents. declaring certain areas off limits to agricultural development can dangerously limit people’s food supply. wild animals that prey on domestic livestock are active mostly at night. legislation attempting to transfer responsibility for wildlife to a country’s citizens has failed in other parts of africa.

Explanation:

Sentence 6 states that government solutions can be costly and often a "solution" that helps one group hurts another. We need an example that shows a solution (like declaring areas off - limits to agricultural development) that has a negative impact (limits food supply, thus hurting the group that depends on agriculture for food).

• The first option (creation of watering holes providing jobs) only shows a positive.
• The third option (wild animals preying at night) is just a fact about animals, not a government - implemented solution with a "help - hurt" dynamic.
• The fourth option (legislation failing in other parts) is about failure of a solution in general, not the "help - hurt" aspect.

Answer:

Declaring certain areas off limits to agricultural development can dangerously limit people’s food supply.
