During ancient times, the floknee was a common animal in the Wekerlee district long before the arrival of humans to the area. However, as the number of clogberry bushes, the floknee's main source of food, became scarce, so did the floknee population. Therefore, the arrival of human inhabitants to the area caused the animal to die out.
Which of the following would it be most useful to establish in order to evaluate the argument?
A. Whether the floknee was a nocturnal creature
B. Whether the clogberries were eaten by humans, or their numbers otherwise dwindled by human activity
C. Whether the humans that inhabited the Wekerlee district had mythological beliefs and traditions about the floknee
D. Whether the rainfall in the Wekerlee district towards the end of the floknee's existence was frequent
E. Whether there is a high population of predators living in the Wekerling district today

Flonkee mainly consumed Clogberry bushes before humans arrived to the place - Soon the Flonkee became scarce because of the lack of this particular food.
So the arrival of humans is made responsible for this decline of Flonkee population.
The assumption of the argument must be that humans or human activity caused the decline of Clogberry bushes.
It is always advised ( better ) to find out the assumption of the argument for the "Evaluate" type of question. Now we already know what could be our potential answer.
The option choice must be :
A. Whether the floknee was a nocturnal creature : Out of scope
B. Whether the clogberries were eaten by humans, or their numbers otherwise dwindled by human activity : Yes, This is exactly what we thought.
C. Whether the humans that inhabited the Wekerlee district had mythological beliefs and traditions about the floknee : No use
D. Whether the rainfall in the Wekerlee district towards the end of the floknee's existence was frequent : Out of scope
E. Whether there is a high population of predators living in the Wekerling district today : Out of scope
Option B must be our answer.

The author is saying that a rise in human population led to the decline of Floknee's main source of food and the subsequent decline of Floknee's population. We are required to find a question that will most help evaluate this argument.
A. Whether the floknee was a nocturnal creature
Irrelevant.
B. Whether the clogberries were eaten by humans, or their numbers otherwise dwindled by human activity
Correct answer.
C. Whether the humans that inhabited the Wekerlee district had mythological beliefs and traditions about the floknee
The beliefs and traditions should have no impact on floknee's population.
D. Whether the rainfall in the Wekerlee district towards the end of the floknee's existence was frequent
Runner up. However we don't know if more rainfall is good or bad for clogberry. Eliminate.
E. Whether there is a high population of predators living in the Wekerling district today
Their population today would have no say in why the Floknee declined. Eliminate.
Irrelevant.
B. Whether the clogberries were eaten by humans, or their numbers otherwise dwindled by human activity
Correct answer.
The beliefs and traditions should have no impact on floknee's population.
