Hi,
I am struggling to understand why “to be evaluated” is the wrong choice here - can someone please explain this to me?
Thanks!
Blank 1 is about the impact of accepting an exotic species as local. After the colon, we see that the ramifications of labeling a species as harmful is associated with something “expensive, laborious, and even ecologically destructive”. This suggests that the impact in blank 1 is an important one, ie, not trivial.
In order for us to justify that this decision is not trivial, we need show it would have a significant real-world impact—we need a word that indicates the “expensive, laborious, and even ecologically destructive” outcomes could actually happen.
“May be evaluated” does not have the required urgency, but “may ensue” does.
Thank you - this is super helpful!
