17. an estimate of how long it will take to overcome a number of problems

Key words: how long, overcome, problems

The hurdles are mentioned in the last two paragraphs, where paragraph F brings up

specific difficulties, and paragraph G shows the potentiality to overcome those problems.

Paragraph G states that “It’s clear that there are many challenges that need to be

addressed, but … these can most probably be conquered within the next 10 years.”

 problems = challenges

 overcome = conquer

It could then be inferred that 10 years is the estimate of how long it will take to overcome

a number of problems. Therefore, the answer is G.

→ Answer: G
