PrepTest 109 - Section 4 - Question 15

Show summary

Support In 1992, there were over 250 rescues of mountain climbers, costing the government almost 3 million dollars. ████ ████ ██ ██████ ████ ██ ████████ ███████ ████ █████ ████ ███ ████████ █████ ███ █████ ████ █████ ███████ ██ █ ████ █████ ████ ████████ █ ███████ ███████████ █████████ ███ ████████ ██ ████ █ █████ ███ ██ █████ ██ ██ █████████ ██ ███ ██████████ ██ ████ ██ █████████

Summarize Argument

The task force recommends an arrangement where climbers forfeit money to the government if they need rescuing. Why? Because mountain climbing is dangerous, and rescuing mountain climbers cost the government almost 3 million dollars in one year.

Notable Assumptions

The task force assumes the proposed agreement will either create an incentive strong enough to reduce the number of mountain climbers, thus reducing the number who die or need rescuing, or raise enough money to pay for those rescues. They assume it should be the responsibility of a mountain climber to pay for their own rescue, rather than the government.
