PrepTest 130 - Section 1 - Question 24

Show summary

Support The Kiffer Forest Preserve, in the northernmost part of the Abbimac Valley, is where most of the bears in the valley reside. ██████ ███ █████ █████ ████ ███ ████ ████ ███████ ███ ████████ ███ ████ ██████ ███ ██████████ ████ ██████████ ███ ██████ ████████ █████ ███ ████████ ████ ██████████ ████ ████████ ██ ███ ████ ██ ████ ███████

Summarize Argument: Phenomenon-Hypothesis

The author concludes that the valley’s bear population will increase if the road that runs through the preserve (which is a part of the valley) is kept closed. This is because during the past eight years, during which that road has been closed, the preserve’s bear population has nearly doubled.

Notable Assumptions

The author assumes that there has been an increase in the valley’s bear population over the eight years the road has been closed. (There’s a difference between the preserve’s population increasing and the valley’s population increasing.) The author also assumes that the closing of the road over the last eight years was the cause of the increase in the preserve’s bear population.
