(D) Deforestation is slowed and the koala survives.
consistent with biologist consistent with politician
(E) Deforestation is slowed and the koala approaches extinction.
consistent with biologist no consistent with politician Shouldn't the answer be (E)? The question is asking for one that is consistent with biologist and not consistent with politician. I'm going with (E) - with the same reasoning as the above.
