Question

Statement: The rise of global tourism has significantly impacted local economies by providing job opportunities and boosting income for many communities. However, it has also led to challenges such as environmental degradation and cultural dilution, as traditional practices and lifestyles are altered to cater to tourists. As a result, many experts advocate for sustainable tourism practices that balance economic benefits with the preservation of local culture and the environment.
Conclusion:
I. All communities benefit equally from the economic opportunities presented by global tourism.
II. Sustainable tourism practices are essential to minimize the negative impacts of tourism on local cultures and environments.
III. The rise of tourism has no significant negative effects on local communities.
Based on the above statement, which conclusion necessarily follows?

• A. Only I follows
• B. Only II follows
• C. Only III follows
• D. Both I and II follows

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Conclusion II follows because the statement emphasizes the need for sustainable tourism to balance the positive economic impacts with the preservation of culture and the environment.
Conclusions I and III do not follow because the statement does not suggest that all communities benefit equally or that there are no negative impacts of tourism.
Thus, the correct answer is Option (B).
