Machu Picchu S/W CR Question

by KenD75 Sun Jan 25, 2015 3:22 pm

From CR book #6, 5th Ed, page 164.

I'd be grateful if someone could please explain why A is a stronger answer than E.

A seems out of scope to me (seems more like anecdotal support, but doesn't add to the linear argument with specific circumstances w.r.t Inca Trail or Machu Picchu).

E seems much more on point, by establishing that the degradation would continue, owed to an even more detrimental # of visitors than when the degradation previously occurred with smaller tourist #s.

Thank you very much for any guidance you're willing to share.

Yes. Please remember this is a free service, and our instructors fit their forum time in among many other responsibilities. You would be much more likely to get a timely response if you followed the forum rules in your first post rather than waiting for us to remind you of the rules and then responding with a post that still doesn't follow the rules.
