Question

including such wasteful practices as slash-and-burn agriculture, reduce the number of places where big cats can survive and thrive. to some degree protected areas known as parks and wildlife sanctuaries help preserve endangered species habitat. (17) fortunately, in many poor countries there is not adequate law enforcement to prevent poaching or illegal development of land inside park boundaries. in addition, animals need more land than the human race can afford to protect in parks. more enlightened use of habitat by man can increase the number of big cats and preserve their genetic diversity. (18) for instance, a timber plantation can provide both high quality wood and habitat for predators and their prey. using sustainable management techniques, land can provide a never - ending source of quality wood products while continuing to preserve wildlife. 4 (19) as someone interested in big cats, you can make your love of big cats known through the way you vote, your lifestyle, and the charitable giving you do. governments can only do so much to forestall extinction. for big cats to be saved, they must be saved by all of us working together.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the parallelism in the sentence. The original sentence has "the way you vote, your lifestyle, and the charitable giving you do". Option B revises it to "the way you vote, lifestyle, and charitable giving" which maintains parallel structure (all noun phrases without unnecessary possessives or clauses) and is more concise. Option C adds "your" to "charitable giving" which is inconsistent with "lifestyle" (no "your" before it in the revised part). Option D uses "one's" which is inconsistent with "you" in the rest of the sentence. The original has a bit of redundancy, so Option B is the best correction for parallelism and conciseness.

Answer:

B. As someone interested in big cats, you can make your love of big cats known through the way you vote, lifestyle, and charitable giving.
