Veritas Prep Official Explanation



This problem (like many others) tests logical meaning. Note the use of the word "other" in choices B and D, and compare that to the usage in A/C/E. Can the UK have more invasive species than any European country, when it is a European country itself? Logically, no - it can have the most of any country in Europe, but not more than any country. The best it can do is "tie" itself. So this sentence requires the use of "other" to be logically correct.

Then notice the major difference between B and D. The UK has some of the busiest (air)ports, but it is not itself the busiest airports and ports. So B is illogical, meaning that D must be the correct answer.
