Hi

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
