Let's start by taking a look at answer choice (B):
Quote:
As you suggest, this doesn't tell us anything specifically about the age of men with prostate cancer in Ruberia OR Terland. So what exactly does it tell us?
Well, since it's talking about "most men who have prostate cancer," we can conclude it's talking about men in general. In other words, most men with prostate cancer in general -- whether they're from Terland, Ruberia, or somewhere else -- are older than the average male life expectancy in Terland.
Would this explain the discrepancy? Definitely. Because if men with prostate cancer tend to be older in general than the average male life expectancy in Terland, then most men in Terland must be dying before they're old enough to get prostate cancer. So although Terland has bad healthcare, fewer men are dying there of prostate cancer. Why? Because most Terland men die of something else before they're even old enough to get prostate cancer.
Although (B) doesn't specifically tell us about men in Terland OR Ruberia, it DOES tell us about men in general. And based on the reasoning above, it helps to explain the disparity.
I hope that helps!

Understanding the argument -
Some species of Arctic birds are threatened by recent sharp increases in the population of snow geese, which breed in the Arctic and are displacing birds of less vigorous species. - Fact
Although snow geese are a popular quarry for hunters in the southern regions where they winter, the hunting season ends if and when hunting has reduced the population by five percent, according to official estimates. - Although it introduces contrast, the statement is a fact.
Clearly, dropping this restriction would allow the other species to recover. - Conclusion.
Option Elimination - Weaken
(A) Hunting limits for snow geese were imposed many years ago in response to a sharp decline in the population of snow geese. - When and Why these restrictions were imposed is out of scope.
(B) It has been many years since the restriction led to the hunting season for snow geese being closed earlier than the scheduled date. - so, if the hunting season was set from Month 1 to 6, but hunters stopped hunting in Month 2, then removing the limitation will not help. Or maybe the hunters just 1% of snow geese when the limitation was 5%, so even if we remove the limitation, hunters may still hunt 1%. ok.
(C) The number of snow geese taken by hunters each year has grown every year for several years. - Classic trap. The argument talks about percentages and this talks about the numbers. Out of scope.
(D) As their population has increased, snow geese have recolonized wintering grounds that they had not used for several seasons. - Goes in the direction of the opposite of what we need. If they recolonize more ground, then maybe removing restrictions should help. At best, a strengthener.
(E) In the snow goose’s winter habitats, the goose faces no significant natural predation. - If they face no natural predation, then maybe only hunting can help. At best, it can be a strengthener and not the weaker we need.

For option C, we can also say that there is a difference between death due to prostate cancer and risk of getting prostate cancer hence it is incorrect
