Self-study
The better we understand the behavior and ecological niche of an endangered species, the better chance we have of saving it. ███ ███ ████ ███████████ ██ █ ███████ ██ ██████ ███ ██████ ██ ██████████ ███ ██████████ ████████
Summary
The more individual members of a species we study, the better we understand that species. The better we understand the behavior and ecological niche of an endangered species, the better our chance is of saving that species.
Strongly Supported Conclusions
Therefore, as a species becomes more endangered, the more difficult it is to acquire the understanding to save that species.

Which one of the following ████ ██████████ █████████ ███ █████████
a
many endangered species ████ ██████ ███████ ██████ ██ ████ ███ █████████ ████ ██ █████████ ██ ████ ████
We don’t know whether many endangered species will in fact become extinct. We only know that our chance of saving an endangered species increases if we better understand that species.
b
continued reduction of ████████ ███████ ████ ████ ███ ████████████ ██ ████ ██████████ ███████ ██████████
We don’t know whether it’s impossible to save some endangered species if their habitats continue to be reduced. The stimulus does not address the reduction of wildlife habitats.
c
knowledge that contributes ██ ██████ ██████████ ███████ ███████ ██████ ██ ███ ██ ███████ ██████ ████ ██████████
If the number of individual members of a species causally contributes to our understanding of that species, which in turn causally contributes to our chance of saving that species, it must be that the fewer the individuals left to study, the less our chance is of saving that species.
d
to save endangered ███████ ██ ██ ████ █████████ ██ ███████ ███ █████ ████ ██ █████████ ████ ██ ████ ██████
We don’t know whether acquiring knowledge is more important than taking action in order to save an endangered species. We only know that our chances of saving an endangered species increases as our understanding of that species increases.
e
the impact of █████ █████ ██ ██████████ ███████ ██ █████████ ████ ███████ ████ ██████████
We don’t know whether human study of endangered species is sometimes harmful.
