Mohish pls try to paste the q. in body itself, because downloading the attachment is not a very attractive thing to do.

scorpioguy · Answer

I don't know if this is thinking too much.

My options are A & B and I choose A.

The reasoning aganst B is that this is basically restating the last sentence by mentioning that the type of parenting in the wild teaches the lion cub the skills required for hunting.

gamjatang · Answer

(B) is not just restating the last sentence.

The last sentence is a claim, which is not proved yet.
Therefore, if it could be proved(=demonstrated), its probability is strengthened.

vc019 · Answer

I would vote for 'B'.

 Reasoning : The conclusion will be strengthened if it is proven that agressive playing skills are neccessary for hunting. 

In the argument it is just claiming and that claim has to be proven.


A - Is incorrect. It trys to co-relate captive upbringing and hunting skills.
Which is not the scope.

mohish · Answer

OA is A.

I chose B as well..this is from Kaplan practice test..Here is OE:

The argument depicts a cause and effect. 
 Cause (the play) -> Effect (hunting skills)
 So, ~ Effect (hunting skills) -> ~ Cause (the play)

Also, I think (this is not in OE) the argument hinges on the тАШaggressionтАЩ that is developed as a result of the play; not the тАШskillsтАЩ developed as a result. So, B is out of scope.
