Practice one SAT question at a time

Questions come from the Bluebook question bank.

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

  • Some sandstone arches in Utah’s Arches National Park have been defaced by tourists’ carvings.
  • Park rangers can smooth away some carvings using power grinders.
  • For deep carvings, power grinding is not always feasible because it can greatly alter or damage the rock.
  • Park rangers can use an infilling technique, which involves filling in carvings with ground sandstone and a bonding agent.
  • This technique is minimally invasive.

The student wants to explain an advantage of the infilling technique. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
