Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=11555)
The correct answer choice is (D)
The answer to this Concept Reference question should be prephrased: the benefits of the herd, discussed in the third paragraph, are the greater number of eyes watching out, and the lower likelihood that any one animal will be attacked.
Answer choice (A): The author does not discuss density in the passage, so although this may sound like reasonable speculation, it must be eliminated because it cannot be confirmed by the information provided.
Answer choice (B): This is another choice that seems like it could be true, but since it is not discussed in the passage, this answer choice must be incorrect.
Answer choice (C): This answer choice seems reasonable enough, but since it is not discussed in the passage, it cannot be correct.
Answer choice (D): This is the correct answer choice, as it presents one of the two benefits listed in our prephrase.
Answer choice (E): This answer choice seems like it could be true, but it is not offered specifically as a benefit, so it must not be correct.
