Director: Our engineers are considering two
different sites—one on the Abaco
River and one on the Bornos River—
for a hydroelectric plant. Although
we have the technical expertise to
build roughly the same plant in
either place, producing roughly the
same amount of electricity per hour,
building the plant on the Abaco site
will cost over twice as much money.
With our budget currently in deficit,
we should build the dam at the
Bornos site.
Which of the following, if true, best explains the
difference in building costs for the two proposed
dam sites?
(A) Many farms along the lower Bornos River
valley would benefit from the controlled
flow of water a dam would make possible.
(B) The Abaco site is in an inaccessible area,
requiring the building of new roads and the
importation of laborers.
(C) The Bornos site is near a large city whose
residents could use the resulting lake for
inexpensive recreation.
(D) The Abaco site is in an area that contains
many endangered species that would be
threatened by the new dam.
(E) The Abaco River has a relatively low
volume of flow, making it impossible to
expand an Abaco plant to meet future
electricity needs.
