Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jack prefers to avoid spots with other surfers, suggesting that he sees other surfers as a negative externality on his surfing experience. This suggests that he may prefer solitude and/or sees other surfers as interfering with his ability to catch waves. Choice A can be ruled out because the passage doesn't suggest that Jack only likes surfing in dangerous circumstances. Choice C is a possibility, but the passage doesn't state this explicitly, while choice B more accurately reflects Jack's preference to avoid other surfers. Choice D is incorrect as the passage doesn't suggest that Jack is considering the impact of his surfing on others.
