Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=10831)
The correct answer choice is (D)
This is a General Reference question, so it can be difficult to prephrase the answer with precision, but the right answer choice will be the one that appears as a concern in both passages; there is a decent chance that it will deal with invasive species and/or their effects on the environment to which they’ve been introduced
Answer choice (A): Neither author explores the reasons some ecosystems are more vulnerable than others.
Answer choice (B): Neither passage includes discussion of what might distinguish harmful species from harmless.
Answer choice (C): The author of passage B makes no mention of what approach should be taken. While A might allude to an answer to this question (basic prevention), this cannot be the right answer to this question, which requires an answer choice that represents a concern of both passages.
Answer choice (D): This is the correct answer choice. Both passages are concerned with how ecosystems are affected when new species are introduced.
Answer choice (E): Neither author discusses how species are able to spread, so this choice should be ruled out of contention.
