Ecotourism    was    first    defined    in    1990    as    ¨responsible    travel      natural    areas    that    conserves    the    environment    in    its    natural    states    and    improves    the    well-being    of    the    local    people”.    This    is    a    far    cry    away    from    the    old    slogans    of    the    1960´s    that    only    focussed    on    financial    gain.    It    can    also    be    known    as    green    travel,    responsible    travel    or    sustainable    travel.    The    main    idea    behind    ecotourism    or    the    ethos    if    you    prefer    is,    “travelling    more    sustainably    makes    the    world    a    better    place”.  The    idea    behind    ecotourism    is    simple    to    everyone,    but    the    confusion    comes    in    when    we    look    at    practical    ways    of    achieving    it,    we    can    refer    to    the    best    methods    as    “take    only    pictures,    leave    only    footprints¨    approach,    in    which    the    general    idea    is    to    leave    places    without    a    trace    of    us    ever    having    been    there    in    the    first    place.    Travel    experts    stress    over    time    you    will    realise    that    you    don´t    need    to    spend    an    arm    and    a    leg    to    achieve    this    type    of    travel,    you    can    become    an    eco-friendly    traveller    on    a    shoestring    as    long    as    you    follow    a    few    simple    rules,    such    as:    save    water,    save    energy    respect    others    including    the    natural    wildlife.  Eco-tourism    looks    to    inject    much    needed    funds    into    the    local    areas    to    stimulate    financial    growth    and    sustainable    development    of    facilities.    Individually    we    can    hardly    make    a    difference,    but    collectively    we    can    make    great    leaps    towards    changing    attitudes    and    a    real    impact    that    will    be    both    long    lasting    and    feasible.

Correct answer: to

Explanation: The preposition 'to' indicates direction or purpose, which fits grammatically in the context of responsible travel aimed at natural areas. It connects the action of traveling with the destination, maintaining the sentence's logical flow.

Meaning: 'To' is used to indicate the direction or destination of an action.

Wrong options:

  • this: 'This' is a demonstrative pronoun that does not indicate direction and does not fit grammatically in this context.
  • that: 'That' is repeated and serves the same purpose as previously mentioned, which does not fit here.
  • then: 'Then' is an adverb indicating time, which does not fit the grammatical structure of this sentence.
  • and: 'And' is a conjunction used to connect words or phrases, but it does not indicate direction or purpose.
  • make: 'Make' is a verb that does not fit grammatically as it does not serve as a preposition in this context.
Correct answer: that

Explanation: The word 'that' serves as a conjunction introducing a clause, which is necessary to connect the main clause with the subordinate clause explaining what will be realized over time.

Meaning: 'That' is used to introduce a clause, providing additional information.

Wrong options:

  • to: 'To' is a preposition that does not fit as it does not introduce a clause.
  • and: 'And' is a conjunction that connects similar ideas but does not introduce a subordinate clause.
  • make: 'Make' is a verb that does not serve as a conjunction and does not fit grammatically.
  • this: 'This' is a demonstrative pronoun that does not introduce a clause and is not appropriate here.
  • then: 'Then' is an adverb indicating time, which does not fit the grammatical structure of this sentence.
  • that: 'That' is repeated and serves the same purpose as previously mentioned, which does not fit here.
Correct answer: and

Explanation: The conjunction 'and' is used to connect two similar ideas or actions, which fits grammatically and contextually as it links the actions of saving water and saving energy.

Meaning: 'And' is used to connect words or phrases that are similar or related.

Wrong options:

  • to: 'To' is a preposition that does not connect two actions and does not fit grammatically in this context.
  • make: 'Make' is a verb that does not serve as a conjunction and does not fit in this context.
  • this: 'This' is a demonstrative pronoun that does not connect actions and is not appropriate here.
  • then: 'Then' is an adverb indicating time, which does not fit the grammatical structure of this sentence.
  • that: 'That' is repeated and serves the same purpose as previously mentioned, which does not fit here.
Correct answer: make

Explanation: The verb 'make' fits grammatically as it indicates the action of creating an impact, aligning with the context of discussing the collective effort to effect change.

Meaning: 'Make' means to create or cause something to happen.

Wrong options:

  • to: 'To' is a preposition that does not fit as it does not indicate an action in this context.
  • this: 'This' is a demonstrative pronoun that does not indicate an action and is not appropriate here.
  • then: 'Then' is an adverb indicating time, which does not fit the grammatical structure of this sentence.
  • and: 'And' is a conjunction that connects ideas but does not indicate an action.
  • that: 'That' is repeated and serves the same purpose as previously mentioned, which does not fit here.
