Re: Confusing CR from GMATPREP [#permalink]
My ans is C
If the rangers have 2 use tranquilizer more often for reasons other than collaring then it is possible that uncollared female rhinoceroses still have higher fertility rate despite being immobilized more often. If this is established then the substance in the tranquilizer is not responsible for infertility.

i will go with C

Conclusion: female rhino* that are frequently collared have lower fertility than uncollared one. conc2: Substance in the tranquilizer inhibits fertility.

premise: tranquilizers are used to immobilize rhino. in the process of collarizing.

So to evaluate "female rhino* that are frequently collared have lower fertility than uncollared one".. and "tranquilizers inhibit fertility"

we need to find are they using tranquilizers other than collarizing? if yes how often. Because if there is any other scenario where they are using tranquilizers, then we cant say that female rhino* that are frequently collared have lower fertility than uncollared one".

Hi mates,

IMO A

The argument, i.e. some substance in the tranquilizer inhibits fertility, is valid when it applies to a large number of animals. If the argument is obtained from just one or two examples, it can be not valid

OA?

Thanks
