Hi! So this is a principle type question, but put in a slightly complicated way. The passage is giving you an application of a principle and the answers are also applications of principles. So here you'd have to deduce the correct principle and then apply it to the answers to see which answer is a correct application of the principle you deduced. The stim says the Orwell probably encountered the same storytelling conventions many times. (Storytelling conventions meaning the overall conventions in a certain genre, not specific plotlines in different stories. Kind of how a in a horror movie there's always that one person that decides to go out alone and becomes the first victim. The way this happens differs in each movie but its pretty much something you'd expect to see coming into one.) And after that the stim says that its not necessarily that Orwell has read the books that 1984 resembles, since he's and all the other authors had encountered these themes before. So I interpreted this principle as "Works of art may have been influenced by a overall theme rather than other pieces in of same genre." The closest application to that principle would be D- that the film wasn't necessarily directly influenced by other films of the action genre. E is wrong since nothing about the passage suggests that a book MUST employ certain conventions to fit in certain themes, just that certain themes are common in certain genres. Hope this helps let me know if I can clarify anything! :)

I dont understand why B provides no support. We kept A on the premise that if horses could do it then maybe seals can (weak support as it is) so why can't that same logic be applied to B? B shows that it is possible for them to store it in other parts of their bodies, so it supports that it could also be stored in the spleen? Still weak, but the same analogous support as A? Unless I'm understanding something incorrectly. And C says that the spleen is larger but how do we reasonably assume that it is larger due to oxygen storage? Any help would be super appreciated! :)
