Hi,
lets see the choices..
B. The wild sunflower plants on the island of Tropica today are more similar to the original variety than today’s farmed plants.
It clearly is the assumption on which the botanist wants teh wild sunflower to be studied...
clearly the assumption to prefer wild over farmed sunflower..
D. The selective cultivation of farmed plants over the past 10,000 years has led to few if any significant changes from the original variety.
This tells us that there could be very few significant changes and possibly no changes in farmed crop..
This assumption would go against not studying the farmed crop, after all they too have undergone very few changes, which too may not be true..
so no reason to prefer wild over farmed, or to completely neglect farmed crop
hope it helps

Hi chetan2u / daagh /aditya8062 ,
Confused between B and D.
Option D-
Premise- the wild plants have not been selectively cultivated over the years as the farmed plants have
Assumption- The selective cultivation of farmed plants over the past 10,000 years has led to few (Negating -MANY) if any significant changes from the original variety.
Conclusion- By studying today’s wild sunflower plants on the island of Tropica, we can learn much more about that original variety of sunflower
If we negate it, The conclusion gets strengthen instead of weaken----> So Eliminated it
Option B
Premise- the wild plants have not been selectively cultivated over the years as the farmed plants have
Assumption- The wild sunflower plants on the island of Tropica today are more similar to the original variety than today’s farmed plants..
Conclusion- By studying today’s wild sunflower plants on the island of Tropica, we can learn much more about that original variety of sunflower
This option is talking about similarity. Its looks more like an strengthener rather than an assumption.
If the question stem is to strengthen, then B is best
But I am not able to understand, how it is making the argument STRONG
Please assist.
Thanks and Regards,
Prakhar

Hi,
lets see the choices..
B. The wild sunflower plants on the island of Tropica today are more similar to the original variety than today’s farmed plants.
lets take the same premise etc as written by you..
Premise- the wild plants have not been selectively cultivated over the years as the farmed plants have
Assumption- The wild sunflower plants on the island of Tropica today are more similar to the original variety than today’s farmed plants..
Conclusion- By studying today’s wild sunflower plants on the island of Tropica, we can learn much more about that original variety of sunflower
now we know from the para that "the wild plants have not been selectively cultivated over the years as the farmed plants have." And conclulsion is derived that "By studying today’s wild sunflower plants on the island of Tropica, we can learn much more about that original variety of sunflower."
here we are not told if the selective cultivation has had any effect on farmed variety so as to prefer wild over it, or after such a long time hasn't the change in environment brought certain changes in wild plants too..
But since the author is concluding that wild should be preferred over farmed, he believes/assumes that The wild sunflower plants on the island of Tropica today are more similar to the original variety than today’s farmed plants..
clearly the assumption here to prefer wild over farmed sunflower..
D. The selective cultivation of farmed plants over the past 10,000 years has led to few if any significant changes from the original variety.
This tells us that there could be very few significant changes and possibly no changes in farmed crop..
This assumption would go against not studying the farmed crop, after all they too have undergone very few changes, which too may not be true..
so no reason to prefer wild over farmed, or to completely neglect farmed crop
hope it helps
