Answer:

SHANGHAI—For over three decades the Chinese government dismissed warnings from scientists and environmentalists that its Three Gorges Dam—the world's largest—had the potential of becoming one of China's biggest environmental nightmares. But last fall, denial suddenly gave way to reluctant acceptance that the naysayers were right. Chinese officials staged a sudden about-face, acknowledging for the first time that the massive hydroelectric dam, sandwiched between breathtaking cliffs on the Yangtze River in central China, may be triggering landslides, altering entire ecosystems and causing other serious environmental problems—and, by extension, endangering the millions who live in its shadow.

Retrieval failure is the inability to review a memory because of missing jolts or signs that were available at the time the memory was encoded. Encoding is the initial phase in making and recalling a memory. This is a clarification for not recalling from long term memory. A case of this would be neglect to recollect something in an exam, just when your companion helps you to remember it through a specific word/sign, you recall it.
