When I first read it, I thought it meant that the genetic differences between shrimp are less significant than the genetic differences of other species. Even if that were true, it makes more sense in the context of the argument that the genetic differences between shrimp populations are less significant than shrimps and turtles.
I solely didn't understand the shrimp example because my brain went "isn't this just so damn obvious" LOL. Then when I climbed out of my complacency, I understood what was going on...
is anyone else having this #error? when i press my forward/backward arrow to go back 5seconds (whatever it used to be), it skips to the next page entirely?
I'm struggling to understand why one is chosen to be a "winner" over the other. Is it simply because of the order in which they are mentioned?
If, for example, this sentence read as "The genetic differences between shrimp and any other marine species are much less significant than those between the shrimp populations", then would the winner be differences b/n shrimp and other marine species?
Hm, I'm a little confused. Would it be fair to assume it is referring to various species of shrimp since it says "than any other species of marine mammals"? I don't know if shrimp have varieties but I'm a little confused.
JY's example refers to geographic distribution, but can we say that it is referring to species/genetic variation AMONG shrimp species?
The genetic differences between the shrimp populations are much less significant than those between shrimp and any other marine species.
Real quick word on this sentence.
When JY said that we can infer that “the genetic differences between the shrimp populations is less significant than the genetic difference between shrimp and lobsters”
My first thought was, wait, how do we know lobster? And then it came apparent that the word “any” that modifies other marine species is incredibly powerful. I mean, imagine the thousand different things we could say because of that word “any”. Imagine all the modifiers we could use for to describe any marine animal besides shrimp.

I cannot Fullscreen on this video which is inconvenient.
The phrase "much less significant" is awkward. A better phrase would be "genetically similar."

These lessons have helped IMMENSELY. I now see the grammar patterns on questions, which helps immensely when I am stuck between two answer chouces.
