سوال ۳۷ کنکور ارشد مدیریت کسب‌وکار (MBA) ۱۴۰۲ — Passage summary: Public enthusiasm for giant pandas contrasts

Question

Passage summary: Public enthusiasm for giant pandas contrasts with the uncertain survival of their wild populations. Their former range has contracted to isolated mountains in Gansu, Shaanxi and Sichuan, and they remain endangered even though about three quarters live in reserves. Habitat destruction, illegal hunting and transport routes threaten them, with roads and railways separating populations and obstructing reproduction. Because pandas depend heavily on bamboo, projected climate-related losses of that plant could also make habitat in north-western China unsuitable.

Which of the following could best be inferred from the passage?

Accepted Answer

Climate change would exert its pernicious effect on pandas’ populations indirectly.

Answer

Given the present circumstances, keeping pandas in nature reserves is a sheer waste of financial resources.

Answer

There seems to exist no viable strategy to employ to thwart the demise of giant pandas outside China any time soon.

Answer

One reason why pandas are in danger of extinction is their idiosyncratic solitary life, which makes their breeding rate slow.
