Grammar in this story: Linking intended benefits with uncertainty
hopes the approach could reduce disruption
Hopes and could both signal a possible benefit under investigation. Replacing them with “has proved it reduces” would make a stronger claim than the text supports.
Your turn
Explain why a demonstrated collaring method does not yet establish that it is better for animals than conventional methods.
See one possible answer
The proof of concept shows that animals can acquire collars through interactions with the devices. A comparison of behavioural effects with capture-based methods is still planned, so the hoped-for welfare benefit has not yet been established by that comparison.
Your answer can be different. Give a reason and use your own words.
