This is the reason that small animals, like squirrel, can run up a tree trunk almost as fast as they can move on level ground, whereas large animals tend to slow down when they are moving uphill.<\/p>\n<p>Which one of the following is an assumption on which the explanation above depends?<\/p>\n<p>(A) The amount of energy needed to move uphill is no greater for large animals that it is for small animals.<br \/>\n(B) Small animals can move more rapidly than large animals can.<br \/>\n(C) The ratio of surface area to body weight is smaller in large animals than it is in small animals.<br \/>\n(D) There is little variation in the ratio of energy output to body weight among animals.<br \/>\n(E) The amount of energy needed to run at a given speed is proportional to the surface area of the running animal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/energy-to-move-uphill-79449.html\">OA and Explanation<\/a><\/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&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fentity%2FGMAT-Club%2FB0048PPF3U%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dntt_athr_dp_pel_1&tag=gmatclub-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957\">on your Kindle<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=PJTlq5NYqfE&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math (PS) What is the sum of digits in decimal notation of number ?
