Question

what is the most likely reason the author organizes the information in the article chronologically?
a to accentuate the problems faced in antarctica and their solutions
b to tell the story of antarctica’s development into a tourist site
c to give emphasis to the effects of progress and change in antarctica
d to reveal the competing economic interests at play in antarctica

Explanation:

Chronological organization typically follows a sequence of events over time, which aligns with telling a story of development (like how Antarctica became a tourist site) as it unfolds over time. Option A focuses on problems and solutions, which doesn't necessarily need chronology. Option C emphasizes effects of progress/change, but chronology is more about the sequence of development. Option D is about economic interests, which also isn't directly tied to a chronological narrative of development. So the most logical is B as it fits the idea of a chronological story of development into a tourist site.

Answer:

B. To tell the story of Antarctica’s development into a tourist site
