After watching the video this question further made sense by practicing to see the connections between WSE and RRE questions.

The stimulus has further explaining to do once you’ve put it all together.

The paradox is:

(Mild Winter + Many birds stayed + Nat. Foraging) is supposed to explain —> Less Feeder visits

How is it that a mild winter (still the winter season) with limited foraging for birds, plus many birds not migrating, meaning more competition during this mild winter resulted in less bird feeder visits? (easy pickings for birds?)

Answer choice C resolves this paradox and strengthens the overall argument by letting us know that Birds eating at feeders are more vulnerable to predators than are birds foraging naturally.

So less bird feeder visits are further explained which strengthens the main conclusion for a larger bird population the following year from less vulnerable birds.

I hope this helps!

In the end of the Let's Review section, fourth line, it says "mammal ichthyosaur" instead of reptile ichthyosaur. with love to 7sage
