At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

The general belief among people is that in a fight for survival the stronger entity will always win over seemingly weaker entity. In a fight between man and tiger, most people would bet on the tiger. Such prediction, while true in the short term, has not panned out in the long term. Historically, the weaker entity has out-innovated the stronger entity in the long term, compensating for its weakness. The same is seen in the triumph of man over tiger in which man invented weapons to defeat the tiger, almost wiping it out from the face of the planet.
In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
A. The first is an opinion that is refuted in the argument; the second is an opinion that the argument believes will be true.
B. The first is an example provided to increase the belief in a strategy; the second is competing strategy that refutes that example
C. The first is an instance of a belief that is refuted in the argument, the second is an instance provided to support a competing belief.
D. The first is evidence whose accuracy is disputed in the argument; the second is another evidence that disputes the first.
E. The first is evidence that has been used to support a position that the author expresses reservations about; the second is a competing position that the author agrees with.

This argument talks about how people usually think the stronger entity will always win in a fight, like in a fight between a man and a tiger. But, historically, this hasn't been true in the long term. Weaker entities have out-innovated stronger ones and compensated for their weakness. The second boldfaced statement gives an example of this, with man triumphing over the tiger by inventing weapons to defeat it. So, the first statement is a belief that is being refuted in the argument, and the second statement is an instance provided to support a competing belief. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

'C' does not seem right.
The idea that "Most people would bet on the tiger", is itself not refuted rather it has been established that these people are wrong. Thats why, "C" does not seem right.
Kindly correct me!
