Most Strongly SupportedDiff: Medium
Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: Hikers carry cell phones for safety and to report illegal hunting. Because hikers can call for help quickly, poachers stay away from popular hiking spots.
Reasoning: Hikers use cell phones to report poachers to authorities, and poachers tend to avoid areas where hikers are present.
Analysis: Since this is a 'Most Strongly Supported' question, we are looking for a deduction that naturally follows from the combination of these facts. We know hikers have the tools to get poachers caught (phones) and that poachers proactively avoid hikers. This suggests that the presence of hikers acts as a deterrent or that poachers are less likely to be caught in areas where hikers do not go. Look for an answer choice that draws a connection between the presence of hikers and the risk level or behavior of the poachers.

Since poachers avoid areas they know hikers frequent, but hikers still encounter and report poachers, it follows that some hikers are in areas not known by poachers to be frequented by hikers. That’s the clean synthesis of the statements.
