Read the excerpt from "Voluntourism: An Opportunity Too Good to be True" and answer the question.



[1] Picture this: It’s Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there’s lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore. There’s also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.



How does the speaker structure this part of the argument? Match each sentence to what it accomplishes.

Explanation:

The speaker is arguing that volunteering abroad isn't a good way to help those in need. They will require the attention of the target demographic to accomplish this. The authors then set the stage by acknowledging the opposing claim: that voluntourism can be an effective form of aid. They argue against the counterargument that there are more authentic and effective ways to help people by showing a flaw in that argument.
