Quote:
David: Humans did not evolve from an aquatic ancestor. Chimpanzees, our closest living relatives, share over 98 percent of our DNA, and they don’t swim or spend time in the water unless they have to. They even use leaves to soak up water to drink, rather than cup their hands.
Lynn: True, but we also have a layer of fat under our skin, which would make us unique in the animal kingdom as the only non-aquatic species that has evolved such fat, not to mention that fatty tissue is 90 percent as dense as water, helping us float and thereby conferring a survival advantage that would be useless outside of water.
Lynn responds to David’s argument by
1. acknowledges David points
2. Add further information
3. No conclusion but tends to refute david conclusion. - by saying
but(A) agreeingwith him but adding counterarguments
from opponents of that view.
no opposition but additional arguments.
(B) conceding that his evidence is valid but drawing attention to other evidence that refutes his argument.She tends to refute with her last statement.
(C) initially agreeing with him but then
changing her mind by drawing upon comparisons.wrong: not change of mind but adding additiona linformation without disputing his evidence
(D)
ignoring it and attacking the implications of his facts to support her counterargument.
not against his facts but just add further information
(E) acknowledging the facts he uses to support his argument but offering additional information
to consider without herself making a conclusion.
She just didn;t add additioanl evidence to let it open to assume but by emphasis surviving advantage, she tends to refute david conclusion.
Between B and E
I would choose B because message tends to refute the conclsuion but not just left in open to assume
Final answer: B<fingers crossed>
