Reading the passage
Carrying everything makes the trip too difficult, so send supplies ahead to be waiting when the travelers arrive. That's the strategy we're matching. The new situation doesn't need a rocket; it needs advance preparation that reduces what must be carried from the outset.
Working the answers
- A
A smaller down payment postpones payment. It doesn't place supplies ahead of someone to ease a later journey.
- B
This provides fuel during flight rather than putting supplies in place before the traveler arrives. Refueling alone isn't the whole strategy.
- C
Choosing faster transportation saves time, but it doesn't solve the burden of carrying supplies by sending them ahead.
- D
Smaller, more frequent shipments change shipment size. We aren't told that they prepare a supply point for later travelers.
- ECorrect
The explorer can't efficiently carry all the provisions, so has them dropped in advance along the route. The astronauts likewise find equipment and supplies waiting on Mars.
The halfway point may initially seem different from a destination. But the astronauts' whole trip is Earth to Mars and back: Mars is where they replenish before the return leg. The routes have different shapes, but the advance-supply strategy matches.
