Generally, the more populous a species, the more likely that species is to be selected as the primary foraged species. Surprisingly, several unrelated university sponsored laboratory experiments on bumblebees, tested with an identical foraged species, yielded dramatically different results. In some experiments, the bumblebees thrived, while in others they perished. Given that each of the experiments had comparable funding, the varying results must have been attributable to the quality of the way the experiments were maintained by the researchers conducting them.<\/p>\n<p>Which one of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the conclusion drawn above?<\/p>\n<p>\u24b6 In the wild, frequency-dependent foraging among bumblebees typically occurs when any one of a small number of foraged species is present.<br \/>\n\u24b7 The same basic experiment design guidelines were used for each of the experiments.<br \/>\n\u24b8 The number of academic calendar years of experience among those who conducted the laboratory experiments varied from four years to five years.<br \/>\n\u24b9 The species of bumblebee used in the laboratory experiments varied from experiment to experiment.<br \/>\n\u24ba A team at the same university that conducted one of the frequency-dependent foraging experiments has been accused of exaggerating the findings of an experiment conducted just two years prior.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/cr-weaken-series-3-frequency-dependent-foraging-199218.html\">Question Discussion &amp; Explanation<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Correct Answer<\/strong> <span style=\"background-color: #fff; color: #fff;\">- D\u00a0-<\/span> (click and drag your mouse to see the answer)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Like these questions?<\/strong> Get the GMAT Club question collection: <a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/tests\/\">online at GMAT Club<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fentity%2FGMAT-Club%2FB0048PPF3U%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dntt_athr_dp_pel_1&amp;tag=gmatclub-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957\">on your Kindle<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=PJTlq5NYqfE&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=blog&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fgmat-toolkit%252Fid328345537%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30\">on your iPhone\/iPad<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/category\/blog\/gmat-tests\/\"><strong>Browse all GMAT Questions of the Day<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to GMAT Question of the Day:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=GMAT-Question-of-the-day&amp;loc=en_US\">E-mail<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/GMAT-Question-of-the-day\">RSS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math Two payment schemes are available for customers in the N&#8217;K store.
