Black Americans are, on the whole, about twice as likely as White Americans to develop high blood pressure. This likelihood also holds for westernized Black Africans when compared to White Africans.
Researchers have hypothesized that this predisposition in westernized Blacks may reflect an interaction between western high-salt diets and genes that adapted to an environmental scarcity of salt.
Which of the following statements about present-day, westernized Black Africans, if true, would most tend to confirm the researchers' hypothesis?
(A) The blood pressures of those descended from peoples situated throughout their history in Senegal and Gambia, where salt was always available, are low.
(B) The unusually high salt consumption in certain areas of Africa represents a serious health problem.
(C) Because of their blood pressure levels, most White Africans have markedly decreased their salt consumption.
(D) Blood pressures are low among the Yoruba, who, throughout their history, have been situated far inland from sources of sea salt and far south of Saharan salt mines.
(E) No significant differences in salt metabolism have been found between those people who have had salt available throughout their history and those who have not.

QA is A.. Why?

What's the source? I would most likely pick D here. I can't see how A strengthens. Is this another 1000CR or gmatclub question? (Many questions from these sources are flawed in design).

Yes testluv.. it is from 1000CR. You think I shouldnt study with it? By the way, could you explain why it is not A and why it is D.. ?

The argument is that Black Americans are susceptible to high blood pressure because of an interaction between high-salt diets and their genes. If that is true, then Blacks shouldn't have high blood pressure where salt availability is low. Choice D confirms this, and so strengthens the argument.

No, you should definitely NOT use 1000cr or 1000rc in your practice. These are bad questions that can hurt you more than they help you. You should practice from OG, GMATPREP, GMATPOWERPREP, and major test prep company problems. Using LSAT may also be acceptable but be advised there are a ton of LSAT CR question types that don't appear on the GMAT.
