Hello!
As I was going through the LR bible, I came across a question with a stimulus that mentions the following, "one danger that has not been given sufficient attention is that these holes could lead to severe eye damage for animals of many species." The question stem is a 1st family, most strongly supported question: "Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the statements above if true?"
Answer choice B states that, "Few species of animals live on a part of the earth's surface that is not threatened by holes in the ozone layer." The explanation on why it is an incorrect answer is, "we know that MANY animals could suffer severe eye damage, and from this we can infer that SOME of them live in areas threatened by holes in the ozone layer. We do NOT know that FEW of the species live in non-threatened areas."
My questions are:
1) Why did you infer that "some live in threatened areas" instead of "many" considering the fact that "many" was mentioned in the stimulus and not "some"?
2)And also can we say that if "many do live in threatened areas", it does not mean that "few live in non-threatened" since many animals can be living in non-threatened too?
3) What if the answer choice was: "Some species of animals live on a part of earth's surface that is not threatened by holes in ozone layer." Would that be correct?
I appreciate your anticipated help!!
