Question

[111]. Passage:

Mountains teach patience to climbers and planners alike. A road cut too quickly through a fragile slope may open a valley for a season and bury it in the next landslide.

Building in mountains therefore needs slow surveys, local knowledge and maintenance, not only concrete and inauguration dates. Which inference about mountains is best supported by the passage?

The passage makes no claim about this subject
