Toads

Expert replies
by harsh.champ » Fri Feb 19, 2010 10:12 am
A nature conservancy expert found little support for his campaign to protect toads. He suggested that, even thought the campaign highlighted the vital role the toads played in the ecology of the region, people were unenthusiastic about saving toads as these animals are perceived as unpleasant creatures, and people seldom feel passionate about animals with which they have no positive feelings.

The expert's opinion would be most strengthened by which of the following observations?

A. Ecological conservation is an increasingly important concern in the region.
B. A recent campaign to save bats achieved a measure of success only after a cartoon bat was adopted as the mascot of the local football team.
C. Snakes and lizards also need protection in this region as a result of human activity.
D. The campaign to protect toads has been in existence for over five years and yet the toad population continues to decline.
E. The children in the local schools were found to have a greater aversion to toads than to snakes.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

B. A recent campaign to save bats achieved a measure of success only after a cartoon bat was adopted as the mascot of the local football team. [correct:people associate thesmelves with bats becasue they are the symbol of local football team.Support authors conclusion]
C. Snakes and lizards also need protection in this region as a result of human activity. [incorrect:this gives another animal which needs protection. but implies nothing to support authos conclusion]
D. The campaign to protect toads has been in existence for over five years and yet the toad population continues to decline. [incorrect:repeatition of what is given int the argument with additional data]
E. The children in the local schools were found to have a greater aversion to toads than to snakes.[incorrect:givin anothe reason on why campain to save toad is not working]

The OA is B.
It is the only sentence which properly represents people's association with the bats.
Thus it strengthens the expert's opinion.

The expert's opinion would be most strengthened by which of the following observations?

expert says : if ppl are passionate about an animal and if they have positive feelings about that animal, it will be helpful in gaining support for campaign to protect that particular animal.

A. Ecological conservation is an increasingly important concern in the region.
Incorrect : Does not support the expert's opinion.

B. A recent campaign to save bats achieved a measure of success only after a cartoon bat was adopted as the mascot of the local football team.
Correct : Cartoon bat adopted (created positive feelings for bat) as mascot of football team (created passion for bat). This helped in gaining support for campaign to save bats. This statement reiterates the expert's opinion. Hence it is correct.

C. Snakes and lizards also need protection in this region as a result of human activity.
Incorrect : Does nothing to strengthen the expert's opinion.

D. The campaign to protect toads has been in existence for over five years and yet the toad population continues to decline.
Incorrect : This is not relevant to the scope of the argument.

E. The children in the local schools were found to have a greater aversion to toads than to snakes.
Incorrect : Showing that children are more averse to a particular animal does not support the expert's opinion in any way.
