The word ‘dilemma’ means ‘a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two different things you could do’. So the word ‘difficult’ need not be used with it. The chinampas were an ingenious solution to a dilemma that had vexed the inhabitants of the Valley of Mexico for more than a millennium.
