Question 6

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

The sentence fits best after sentence 10, as it directly relates to the success of conservancies in Namibia, emphasizing the positive outcomes of the model implemented by the government.

A) After sentence 2

Placing the sentence after sentence 2 would disrupt the flow of the argument, as the preceding sentences discuss the challenges faced by wildlife due to human activities. The context at this point focuses on problems rather than solutions or incentives for protecting wildlife.

B) After sentence 4

Sentence 4 describes the negative impacts of wildlife on human life, which is not conducive to introducing a statement about incentives for wildlife protection. It would create a disjointed narrative, as the focus is primarily on conflict rather than resolution.

C) After sentence 7

Following sentence 7 would not be appropriate since this sentence discusses the legislation aimed at addressing wildlife issues. The subsequent sentence about incentives would better fit after discussing the successes and financial sustainability of the conservancies, rather than a legislative context.

D) After sentence 10

This is the most suitable placement because sentence 10 highlights the financial sustainability of the conservancies and their role in attracting tourists. The new sentence naturally complements this by explaining how the model incentivizes residents to protect wildlife, leading to increased wildlife populations.

Conclusion

The placement of the sentence after sentence 10 effectively connects the incentive model to the positive impacts on wildlife populations, reinforcing the achievements of the conservancies. The other options fail to provide the necessary context or continuity, making them less suitable for this statement.
