Henry: Some scientists explain the dance of honeybees as the means by which honeybees communicate the location of whatever food source they have just visited to other members of the hive. But honeybees do not need so complicated a mechanism to communicate that information. Forager honeybees returning to their hive simply leave a scent trail from the food source they have just visited. There must therefore be some other explanation for the honeybees’ dance.
Winifred: Not necessarily. Most animals have several ways of accomplishing critical tasks. Bees of some species can navigate using either the position of the Sun or the memory of landmarks. Similarly, for honeybees, scent trails are a supplementary not an exclusive means of communicating.
In Winifred’s response to Henry, the statement about how bees of some species navigate plays which one the following roles?
(A) It addresses an ambiguity in Henry’s use of the expression “communicate the location.”
(B) It provides evidence in support of a general claim.
(C) It calls into question the accuracy of key evidence cited by Henry.
(D) It points out that Henry’s conclusion directly contradicts one of his premises.
(E) It proposes an alternative explanation for the honeybee’s dance.

H- But honeybees do not need so complicated a mechanism to communicate that information. Forager honeybees returning to their hive simply leave a scent trail from the food source they have just visited.
W-Similarly, for honeybees, scent trails are a supplementary not an exclusive means of communicating.............this means...... its not the only way to communicates.....and there can be many ways also....by which W is generalizing the discussion
(A) It addresses an ambiguity in Henry’s use of the expression “communicate the location.”.......NO....INCORRECT....He didnt check for the ambiguity
(B) It provides evidence in support of a general claim................CORRECT
(C) It calls into question the accuracy of key evidence cited by Henry........W didnt investigated on the accuracy of H...............INCORRECT
(D) It points out that Henry’s conclusion directly contradicts one of his premises........INCORRECT
(E) It proposes an alternative explanation for the honeybee’s dance........He didnt propose alternatives....he said that the earlier statement can be correct......CORRECT

Quote:
argument
= hb's can tell the location of food by their trail
= thus, hb's dance must have some other purpose
xp= not necessarily
xp= bees can have >1 mechanism to express something
W x H
ans (B) her response about "navigate" is used as evidence stating that bees can have more than one means to do the same thing!
