Hi cbo,

The questions are already posted along side the question. I would suggest you to access this site using a computer as there might be problem accessing it from mobile device.

Get them all right but took me too long to solve this one..

Was stupid at the beginning, wanted to train and did a lot of analysis but finally did a lot of addition work that ended to be useless!

This text is hard but still clear in its meaning (hopefully)!

thank for sharing!

2. The passage implies that conventional and revisionist theorists disagree about all of the following EXCEPT:

A. the accuracy of the conventional view of early marine evolution.
B. the probable number of marine animal phyla during the Cambrian period.
C. the likelihood of entire phyla becoming extinct.
D. the applicability of the theory of natural selection to the Cambrian period.
E. the number of species within individual phyla

"Revisionists and conventional theorists agree that modern marine species are products of natural selection."
I think D should be the answer as well at the first place and then I suspected about the words "to the Cambrian period."
