[問題]GWD9-14

[Jessy]

The Eurasian ruffe, a fish species inadvertently introduced into North America’s Great Lakes in recent years, feeds on the eggs of lake whitefish, a native species, thus threatening the lakes’ natural ecosystem. To help track the ruffe’s spread, government agencies have produced wallet-sized cards about the ruffe. The cards contain pictures of the ruffe and explain the danger they pose; the cards also request anglers to report any ruffe they catch.

Which of the following, if true, would provide most support for the prediction that the agencies’ action will have its intended effect?

A. The ruffe has spiny fins that make it unattractive as prey.

B. Ruffe generally feed at night, but most recreational fishing on the Great Lakes is done during daytime hours.

C. Most people who fish recreationally on the Great Lakes are interested in the preservation of the lake whitefish because it is a highly prized game fish.

D. The ruffe is one of several nonnative species in the Great Lakes whose existence threatens the survival of lake whitefish populations there.

E. The bait that most people use when fishing for whitefish on the Great Lakes is not attractive to ruffe.

答案給C, 這題看了答案還搞不清..... @@@
ruffle 吃 whitefish的蛋 跟 whitefish很珍貴
這該如何建立關聯??

[liwuu]

這題大意ruffe會吃whitefish導致破壞生態平衡,有關單位計畫印製ruffe卡片宣導並要求通報
可以想做若印製宣導卡片此計畫本身要成功,必須民眾願意積極配合,才能收到很好的效果
如同C,people本身就很重視whitefish,所以這個計畫就容易成功!!

GMAT 環保題跟美國人現實生活的連結度很高.
必需認識 angler 就是"垂釣者"---去湖邊休閒玩耍的人.

請問大大們...

因為題目有說
The cards contain pictures of the ruffe and explain the danger they pose

那麼(A)
A.The ruffe has spiny fins that make it unattractive as prey.

不是有可以幫助垂釣者辨識Ruffle的效果嗎

???

我的看法是 the ruffe 是否spiny fins 並不影響計劃是否成功
或者是說 the ruffe has spiny fins 本身就不具吸引力
印製手卡只是提供辨識而已 並不因而就attractive or remain unattractive
