Janet: The wild auroch was a species of large wild cattle whose last known herd went extinct in Eastern Europe in the first half of the 1600s. As the records of the period show that their extinction occurred during a period of stagnation in local population growth, it is unlikely that they were hunted to extinction or died due to habitat displacement. Something else must have led to the auroch’s extinction, and the best candidate is rinderpest – a disease inadvertently introduced into the auroch’s ecosystem through the import of domesticated cattle from Asia.
Junko: That argument is unlikely to convince scholars on its own. Can you cite any other evidence in its favor?
Select Janet for the statement that, if true, best strengthens Janet’s assertion, and select Junko for the statement that, if true, best strengthens Junko’s disbelief regarding Janet’s assertions. Make only two selections, one in each column.
Junko for the statement that, if true, best strengthens Junko’s disbelief regarding Janet’s assertions.
Most historians agree that Asian domesticated cattle were first imported to Eastern Europe in the late 1600s while The wild auroch was a species of large wild cattle whose last known herd went extinct in Eastern Europe in the first half of the 1600s. Means the wild auroch went extinct before Asian domesticated cattle were first imported to Eastern Europe. Therefore, rinderpest , a disease inadvertently introduced into the auroch’s ecosystem through the import of domesticated cattle from Asia can not be the reason for wind auroch extinction.
Janet for the statement that, if true, best strengthens Janet’s assertion
Records from that era show that aurochs were very hard to hunt.

Junko: That argument is unlikely to convince scholars on its own. Can you cite any other evidence in its favor?
The auroch’s in Eastern Europe went extinct during a time period wherein trade between Asia and Easter Europe was weaker than it had been during earlier periods wherein they thrived.
Well this definitely does not sound like it helps Janet's assertions and is not strong enough to help Junko's disbelief
Most historians agree that Asian domesticated cattle were first imported to Eastern Europe in the late 1600s.
Junko - This could be the reason why Junko appears to be unimpressed and asks Janet for more evidence. This strengthens Junkos's reason for disbelief.
Roughly half a dozen other species of cattle went extinct alongside the auroch.
Does not help either
Records from that era show that aurochs were very hard to hunt.
Janet - This helps Janet's assertion as she stated that auroch's could not be hunted. This statement strengthens that. Because, they could not be hunted there extinction might be explained by some other reason. Hence, a strengthener for Janet.
Several wild animals larger than the aurochs also went extinct during the 1600s.
Does not help either

Janet: The auroch’s in Eastern Europe went extinct during a time period wherein trade between Asia and Easter Europe was weaker than it had been during earlier periods wherein they thrived.
Junko: Most historians agree that Asian domesticated cattle were first imported to Eastern Europe in the late 1600s.
Janet's argument:
evidence 1: wild auroch was extinct in eastern Europe in first half of 16th century
evidence 2: the cause of extinction may not be human hunting or habitat displacement
Conclusion: Best explanation for the cause of the extinction is rinderpest, a disease inadvertently introduced into the auroch’s ecosystem through the import of domesticated cattle from Asia.
Junko's response:
She isn't convinced. She needs additional evidence.
Q:
Select a strengthener for Janet and a strengthener for Junko's disbelief
Strengthener : The choice that explains how wild auroch contracted this disease
Choice 1 : The auroch’s in Eastern Europe went extinct during a time period wherein trade between Asia and Easter Europe was weaker than it had been during earlier periods wherein they thrived.
This choice strengthens Janet's position that rinderpest was reponsible for the wild auroch's extinction, by connecting the gaps in the reasoning. Gap 1: How did cattle's in Europe contract this disease? -> through trade. Gap 2 : Time period: If the speices were extininct in first half of 16 th century, these species of cattle would have been exposed to rinderpest even before that. By providing evidence for the above mentioned gaps, this choice strengthens Janet's argument
Strengthener for Junko's disbelief
Choice 2 : Most historians agree that Asian domesticated cattle were first imported to Eastern Europe in the late 1600s.
While choice 1 talks about the trade, it doesn't necessaily point out that duering that trade cattles were imported. So, this can be used to establish Junko's disbelief. What if the cattles were imported much later? then rinderpest may not be the bext explanation for the wild auroch's extinction
