Re: For years, a rare variety of camel was endangered because much of its [#permalink]

I debated between A and C, but finally picked A only because C uses "somewhat dangerous".

If there are unexploded bombs, this would pose a bigger threat to the animals since the number of animals killed or the seriousness of injury can be much more than what poachers could do.

But, since C sounded not so confident with "somewhat dangerous", I picked A.

Would love to hear an expert weigh in on this. Why not C?


There were likely unexploded bombs before the range closed down. So that would not be a large reason for the increased rates of deaths.

The "somewhat dangerous" phrase also indicates that the unexploded bombs would not have contributed substantially.

For years, a rare variety of camel was endangered because much of its [#permalink]
(A) so it means wildlife poachers started killing the camels again after the weapon testing range was closed.
(B) It doesn’t explain why the population began to fall more quickly.
(C) The land is dangerous but it doesn’t show any relation with camel population. It maybe possible that camels don't visit here at all.
(D) There should not be more decline after weapon testing range was closed.
(E) It doesn’t mention what happens after the weapons tests were closed.

Can someone help me explain between the two answer choices - Choice A and Choice C?

Hovkial above has the idea. Notice that C tells us that the range was still somewhat dangerous. That means that some of the danger remained, but there is no indication that the range became more dangerous than before. Presumably, unexploded bombs + active weapons testing is more dangerous than just some remaining unexploded bombs. In any case, even if the danger was 100% the same as before, that wouldn't explain why the camel population began declining more quickly. A, on the other hand, shows that the previous threat (weapons testing) was holding another threat (poachers) at bay. When an old threat is replaced by a new one, it's entirely possible that the new one is more dangerous, so this is a plausible explanation for the decline.
