Our mountain regions are unique and beautiful places. We must preserve them for future generations. One of the most serious thre

ats to our mountains is ridgetop development. Large housing developments built on steep slopes and along mountain ridges are unsightly. Also, they adversely affect the scenic views that draw tourists to our region each year. Who wants to drive to the mountains to see not the lovely tree-covered outline of the gently sloping mountain ridges against the sky, but rows of houses jutting from the ridges and slopes with little or no tree cover between them? With tourism as the biggest industry in our area, maintaining our scenic ridgelines is crucial to continued economic success here.
Ridgetop development not only detracts from scenic mountain views and threatens our area’s top industry, it also harms the environment. Stripping large areas to create multiple building sites removes the trees and other plants. These resources provide natural erosion barriers on steep slopes. Large housing developments on ridges often increase erosion and runoff into streams and rivers.

marusya05 [52]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you did not provide options, we can say the following.

Today, prominent hospitals and medical schools commonly hire actors to portray the sick to help aspiring doctors learn to relate to patients. This is called role-playing.

Through role-playing, the actors can play the role of patients so this can help new doctors in developing the kind of relationship they are going to have with real patients. This helps new doctors to get previous training on how to develop certain skills in relationships.

This is a very effective method in training use by consultants. The role.playing method works because participants learn through acting different roles so they can understand the perspectives of different patients. Actors are asked to play the role of patients and act in different situations, so doctors know what they would do or how to react in certain circumstances.
