Question 4
A)
Use this conclusion to an argumentative text to answer the question.

Efforts should be made to decrease tourism across the world. Tourism causes environmental degradation by putting undue stress on an area. Places like popular beach destinations often suffer from erosion and overuse. Air travel causes tons of harmful emissions, contributing to air pollution. Impoverished areas struggle to offer amenities to tourists while depleting their natural resources. While some say the revenue accrued from tourism is used to protect local environments, in many cases, the money is never used to help the ecosystem and instead remains in the hands of bureaucrats. Why not stay put? It’s time to start traveling “local,” and discovering what’s in your own backyard.
Which is most likely to be the original claim made in the argumentative essay?
