Specially bred aquarium fish with brilliant coloration and unusual body shapes may be popular with connoisseurs, but they are inferior to ordinary fish. Hampered by their elaborate tails or strangely shaped fins, the specially bred fish cannot reach food as quickly as can the ordinary fish that compete with them for food, and so they are often underfed. Also, they do not breed true; most offspring of the specially bred fish lack the elaborate tails and brilliant coloration of their parents.
Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the information above?
[A]Specially bred aquarium fish must receive special care if they are to survive.
[B]Connoisseurs are not interested in dull-colored, simply shaped fish.
[C]Most specially bred aquarium fish are purchased by connoisseurs.
[D]Ordinary fish tend not to have elaborate tails or strangely shaped fins.
[E]Strangely shaped fins and elaborate tails interfere with a fish's ability to reproduce.

Official answer by Manhatten:
Tough one to anticipate.
Correct Answer:
(D)
Answer Choice Analysis:
(A) is too strong. While we know that specially bred fish are typically undered, we don't know the problem is so bad that they need special assistance to survive.
(B) is unsupported. While specially bred fish are popular with connoisseurs, we don't know that ordinary fish are not popular with connoisseurs.
(C) is out of scope. We don't know who purchases most specially bred fish.
(D) is correct. This answer is supported by third point above. Otherwise, how would ordinary fish out compete specially bred fish for food.
(E) is unsupported. We know that those characteristics interfere with a fish's ability to compete for food, but not that they make it difficult to reproduce.

Hey bro.I attempted this question without seeing the difficulty level and got it right in ~1min...surprised myself on seeing the %correct figure.
Underfed is not the same as difficulty surviving.Hence rule A out.
