Should you use both styles by first viewing how many questions apply? No. Split passage is more efficient mostly if you get mixed up between the passages or the exact wording/ideas in each. I find this happens to me so I prefer split to have confidence in my answers. If you don't have this problem, then the split passage method does not provide much utility to you apart from preference. You would actually lose time by reading questions stems and viewing first. Go with which method works best for you and stick to it.
would it be too time-consuming to look through the questions first to see which ones may be applicable to passage one without reading passage two, and deciding which approach would be fastest?
Passage B captures a thing that annoys me about a purely evolutionary approach to explaining animal behaviors. "Bees do X to pass on their genes" sure, they may have evolved that way, but what do the bees really feel?
So you would decide which technique you want to use after first briefly scanning the question stems?

Is the "only if" here still being used as a Group 2 indicator?
