Is any of the information not mentioned in previous webinars really substantial or important? @

Alright so this is a RRE question, so you want to find an answer that explains the paradox. In this case, the author believes the animals "playing dead" has no survival value.

I narrowed it down to (A) and (B) as well, but here was my line of thinking:

Answer (A) is an attractive choice, but... does this solve the paradox? I saw this answer as reiterating the information found in the first sentence of the stimulus. How does the information found here answer the paradox identified? Remember, the paradox is animals playing dead DESPITE the predator meaning to eat them whether it plays dead or not. There must be an alternative! There has to be a survival value here.

Answer (B) is way better at justifying the "play dead" behavior. Oh, so animals play dead in the hopes that when the predator leaves their food (prey), the prey has a chance to avoid being eaten. Here, we see a reasoning that justifiably highlights the survival value.

Hope this helps!
