Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The passage does not provide any information suggesting that the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan is a smaller region to manage or that it was a faster project. However, it does mention that the Nature Conservancy's efforts at Emiquon have been ongoing for about 10 years, indicating that conservation efforts can be a lengthy and potentially expensive undertaking. The passage does not mention the management of wetlands in the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, so it cannot be definitively ruled out as a factor. However, the lack of funding is specifically mentioned as a challenge for the restoration plan. Therefore, A is the best choice.
