Question 1

(1) Including such animals as elephants, cheetahs, and zebras, endangered species such as the black rhinoceros and the Puku antelope are part of the African country of Namibia's diverse and extensive wildlife population. (2) Most Namibian wildlife lives alongside people on communal land which leads to problems for both. (3) Agricultural activities can disrupt animal's natural habitats. (4) Wild animals often prey on domestic livestock; or disrupt human life in other ways. (5) For example, elephants can leave paths of destruction as they plow through villages to get to drinking water. (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 1996 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.

In context, where would the following sentence best be placed? Because of this model, which gives residents an incentive to protect wildlife, important wildlife populations are increasing at record rates.

Your Answer: Option(s)

Correct Answer: Option(s) C

Rationale

Because of this model, which gives residents an incentive to protect wildlife, important wildlife populations are increasing at record rates.

This sentence best fits after sentence 7, as it highlights the positive impact of the model on wildlife populations, which follows the context established in the preceding sentences.

A) After sentence 2
Placing the sentence after sentence 2 would disrupt the flow of information, as the earlier sentences likely discuss different aspects of the wildlife model. The connection to increasing wildlife populations would be premature and not fully supported by the context at this point.

B) After sentence 4
This choice would also misalign the narrative, as sentence 4 may not adequately set up the cause-and-effect relationship between the model and the positive outcomes for wildlife. The context needed to understand the incentive aspect is likely not fully developed by this point in the text.

C) After sentence 7
This is the ideal placement, as sentence 7 likely provides sufficient context regarding the model's implications. Following this sentence with the statement about increasing wildlife populations creates a logical progression, reinforcing the positive outcomes resulting from residents' incentives to protect wildlife.

D) After sentence 10
Positioning the sentence here would be too late in the narrative, potentially losing the reader's engagement with the cause-and-effect relationship. By sentence 10, the discussion may have shifted away from the model, making the statement feel disconnected and less impactful.

Conclusion
The placement of the sentence is crucial for maintaining coherence in the argument about the wildlife model's effectiveness. By positioning it after sentence 7, the text effectively connects the incentive provided by the model to the observable increase in wildlife populations, thereby enhancing the reader's understanding of the positive outcomes fostered by the proposed initiatives.
