Wolves, when hunting in packs, factor in many conditions that will affect the hunt and that can tip the scales in their favor. In snow-fed winters, the wolf pack trails the herd of caribous for days till one of the animals realizes the fact, panics, tries to run and falls prey in the attempt. In warm weathers, the same pack changes its tactics; they start chasing the prey over the hard ground as soon as they spot them. It is likely that the weather-induced changes in the terrain bring about the changes in the hunting tactics of the wolves.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest support for the explanation offered?
A. Cold winters make wolves hungrier than usual as they need more energy to keep themselves warm under those harsh conditions.
B. The number of wolves in a pack is typically lower during the warm weather.
C. The cold air during winters is denser and harsher on the eyes, possibly slowing down the aggressive nature of the predators.
D. A herd of caribous is typically quite cautious of any possible wolf packs that could be trailing them with the intent to hunt.
E. The wolves have wide round paws that have evolved to perform like snowshoes whereas the caribous with their hoofed feet can outrun even the fastest wolf over wide plains if they have a good start.

Bunuel The explanation offered in the passage is that weather-induced changes in the terrain bring about changes in the hunting tactics of the wolves. To provide the strongest support for this explanation, we would need information that directly links the weather conditions and terrain changes to the observed changes in the wolves' hunting tactics.
Option E provides the strongest support for the explanation. It states that wolves have wide round paws that have evolved to perform like snowshoes, which suggests that they are well adapted for hunting in snowy conditions. On the other hand, caribous have hoofed feet that allow them to outrun wolves over wide plains if they have a good start. This information implies that the wolves' choice of hunting tactics, such as trailing the caribou herd in snow-fed winters and chasing them over hard ground in warm weather, is influenced by the terrain conditions brought about by the weather.

A. Cold winters make wolves hungrier than usual as they need more energy to keep themselves warm under those harsh conditions. - Opposite
B. The number of wolves in a pack is typically lower during the warm weather. - Quantity is irrelevant over tactics
C. The cold air during winters is denser and harsher on the eyes, possibly slowing down the aggressive nature of the predators. Conclusion is about weather changes to terrain and answer choice mentioned changes to air - Irrelevant
D. A herd of caribous is typically quite cautious of any possible wolf packs that could be trailing them with the intent to hunt. In general info given
E. The wolves have wide round paws that have evolved to perform like snowshoes whereas the caribous with their hoofed feet can outrun even the fastest wolf over wide plains if they have a good start. - correct answer: In winter wolves cant run fast but in summer they can because of the evolved paws.
