You answered with 'none of the above'.... which means you have a reading comprehension problem..... so I stated it on another way.
The guide doesn't have a choice..... hence the use of the word PREFER.
I agree with you.... any guide would PREFER a dude with a un-braked rifle that sounded like a mouse fart.... with the shooting ability of Pat or Burns... but alas, both are incredibly unlikely. So.... if they don't get an excellent shooter running a 'quiet' rifle.... there are only the above other 3 options.... which of those three.... do you think they PREFER?
