The cheetah, the fastest animal on land, uses its incredible maneuvering and acceleration ca- pability when it hunts its prey. It gets the acceleration by exerting approximately five times more power than does the famous sprinter Usain Bolt. In a study of 368 chases that were pre- dominantly for hunting, scientists found that in most hunting chases cheetahs attained about 30 to 35 mph, a speed close to half of their peak speed. Therefore, cheetahs rely more on maneuvering than on their speed to hunt.
Which of the following, if true, would most support the conclusion?
(A) For cheetahs, speed has never been an issue and it is the result of some special physical characteristics that enable it to survive as a predator.
(B) Alan Wilson, a veterinarian, followed five cheetahs in the wild for a year and found that the cheetahs accelerated and changed direction rapidly, and that they ran very fast occasionally—close to a peak speed of 60mph.
(C) The study found that cheetahs can increase their speed by nearly 7 miles per hour in a single stride.
(D) Cheetahs have a very strong grip and can even rip the ground as they run.
(E) It is the use of the animals’ claws that enable them to accelerate and decelerate very quickly, according to the study.

This is Strengthen the argument question. First isolate the conclusion and understand that it is NOT the speed but reliance on maneuvering that Cheetahs uses to hunt. There is a study quoted in the passage so the correct choice should resonate and link-up with that Wild-life study Analysis of this question along with answer Choices is as below :
Option A : This weakens the conclusion by saying " For cheetahs, speed has never been an issue " it does not speak about maneuvering that Cheetahs uses to hunt. Hence eliminated
Option C : This once again weakens the conclusion by supporting importance of speed by stating "cheetah can increase their speed by nearly 7 miles per hour"
Option D : Cheetahs have a very strong grip . Irrelevant to the conclusion and argument as a whole. It does not link up with study which focuses on speed and maneuvering.
Option E : It talks In general about " use of the animals’ claws that enable them to accelerate". Not related to Cheetah and once again relates to speed of an animal. Hence eliminated as too general in nature.
Correct Answer - Option B - It confirms the Wildlife scientists observation in study of 368 chases. This answer choice states about the observation " the cheetahs accelerated and changed direction rapidly " this is exact meaning of relying on maneuvering than on their speed. This resonates with conclusion. It further states that Cheetahs " ran very fast occasionally " which supports conclusion.

Conclusion/ To support: Cheetahs rely more on maneuvering than on their speed to hunt.
Premise: Cheetah only attends half speed in most cases of hunting.
A. Talks about speed of cheetah and survival instinct . Also doesn't explicitly state how maneuvering help in hunting.
B. cheetahs accelerated and changed direction rapidly - maneuvering capability. Give evidence to support the conclusion.
C. Irrelevant , give details around the acceleration.
D. Irrelevant, again talks about the grip which has nothing to do with maneuvering and speed.
E. Irrelevant, explains how they accelerate and decelerate.
