Complete Question Explanation

Resolve the Paradox. The correct answer choice is (A)

The stimulus outlines a paradox: sambar deer cannot eat meat, yet they have been seen feeding on box turtles. You must find an answer that explains this paradox.

Answer choice (A): This is the correct answer choice. This answer explains that the deer are not eating meat; instead, they are eating the shells.

Answer choice (B): While this answer explains why the deer kill the turtles, this answer fails to explain why the deer have been reported to feed on the turtles.

Answer choice (C): Similar to answer choice (B), this answer fails to explain why the deer have been reported to feed on the turtles.

Answer choice (D): This answer provides a possible explanation for why the deer kill the turtles (to remove competition for food), but it does not explain why the deer feed on the turtles when they cannot digest meat.

Answer choice (E): This answer helps explain how the deer are able to kill the turtles, but it does not explain why the deer feed on the turtles.
