Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=10831)
The correct answer choice is (B)
This question asks for the answer choice that provides the best analogy to the main point of passage B, which is that a change to the composition of an ecosystem represents a change, and an addition, but not necessarily a detriment.
Answer choice (A): The author of passage B concedes that losing species can be tragic; this choice is contrary to that notion, and it certainly does not parallel the main point of that passage.
Answer choice (B): This is the correct answer choice, as it perfectly parallels author B’s main point: adding outside influence to folk music, just like to ecosystems, is not necessarily a bad thing.
Answer choice (C): Passage B does not assert that introduction of new species is a necessity, so this choice is not consistent with the passage—it cannot be the main point of the passage
Answer choice (D): The author of passage B does not claim that ecosystems need for additional species to be introduced; rather, the passage only claims that such introduction is not always a bad thing. Regardless, this choice cannot be the right answer to this Parallel question.
Answer choice (E): This choice deals with new species and hybridization, an area not covered in passage B.
