My answer is D, and O.A is E . The reason I chose D is because that I have concern about the usage of passive voice whenever the word "by" appears in the sentence. In this case,"high speeds can be attained by..." rather than "high speeds by reducing". Why we don't emph...

Tiger beetles are such fast runners that they can capture virtually any nonflying insect. However, when running toward an insect, the beetles intermittently stop, and then, a moment later, resume their attack.

Now, Y/3 amount will be emptied from X to completely fill Y.

Y/3 in terms of X is X/10. Thus, after filling Y, the amount of water left is X/5-X/10=X/10.

Thus, D.

Hope this helps!!
