Inequality

The official explanation is very long. When I met this question, I can't get the answer within 2 min, then I just guessed and moved. I can eliminate A, B, and D. But, out of time to combine both statements together. Expert, please help! If a and b are integers, and |a| > |b|, is a · |b| < a – b? ...

Tough one from Kaplan

I can eliminate the 4 wrong answers, but I cannot find any relevant evidence on the passage to support the OA. Any idea??? Careful observers of wildlife along unspoiled freshwater shorelines in New england may encounter the river otter (Lutra Canadensis) or its close cousin, the mink (Mustela Vison)...

This is one of 1000 CR questions.

I also picked C. I dont understand why the OA is B.
The conclusion is "brain scan CAN be used to determine who is likely to develop parkinson disease". So, I think B is out of scope.

Need the explanation from the expert T_T
