Re: Closed-canopy forests, which most people regard as the (i) _ [#permalink]
2
Although I managed to get this one right, there is one point that I would like to make about this question, and it could be be just my own inept mind unable to comprehend clearly.

That said, when I look at the second sentence: In fact, the forest floor is too barren to support large numbers of grazers, and the canopy is too dense to let light-hungry trees like oaks sprout and grow.

This tells me that that the forest is too dry to support large number of grazers, so it would make sense for forest management to stop grazers feeding off on the forest, as intuitively they would try to protect the land. Therefore, the use of the word "yet" in the next sentence seems to be out of place.

Yet traditional forest management usually winds up (ii) ___ deer and bison when their behavior starts to affect trees

Yet traditional forest management usually "winds up" culling deer and bison when their behavior starts to affect trees? Why would you say "yet" because there is no shift in the idea. It makes perfect sense to cull deer and bison if their behavior is affecting the forest, especially when the forest was too barren to begin with.

I don't think ETS would phrase it that way, but again like I mentioned earlier that it could be my way of interpreting this.
