Question:

A wildfire has broken out in a large national park, spreading quickly due to dry conditions and strong winds. The forest officers only have a limited amount of firefighting resources, including helicopters, water trucks, and personnel. They must decide where to allocate these resources to save as much of the park as possible. To maximize their efforts, they prioritise the areas of the park that are home to endangered species and ecosystems that would be the hardest to recover if destroyed by the fire.
Which of the following most mirrors the principle in the passage above?
I. A university offers a limited number of scholarships each year. To ensure the best use of its funds, it prioritizes applicants from underprivileged backgrounds and those with academic potential, believing this will have the most significant long-term impact on the community.
II. A charitable foundation receives an influx of donations for disaster relief. In distributing the funds, it focuses on the hardest-hit communities where homes were completely destroyed, providing them with emergency shelter and rebuilding services before addressing other needs.
III. A large grocery store faces a major food supply shortage due to transportation issues. To minimize the impact on customers, the store decides to limit the sale of high-demand items like milk, bread, and meat, allowing each shopper to purchase only a small amount to ensure everyone can get basic supplies.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The principle in the passage suggests prioritizing areas that need the most protection or assistance. Options I and II mirror this principle, as both prioritize limited resources for the areas that will have the most significant long-term impact. However, Option III focuses on short-term supply management, not long-term impact, and is thus not aligned with the principle.
