I am not sure why answer choice C is incorrect for PT 91 (LR) Q19. Can someone explain to me? Thank you.

    Do you know how you were able to access PT 91 or 92? I have been looking on 7 Sage but have not been able to find it? Thank you!

    In an SA Q we need something that guarantees the conclusion follows 100%.
    The structure is:
    Thriving Population -> Beneficial Conditions

    /Thriving Population @ WPond

    Clearly A->B, Thus /B, so we need /A i.e. /Beneficial Conditions

    The extra bit tells us the water a WPond is acidic. So Acidic = /Beneficial Conditions.

    What do we know about the water at SPond? Nothing except that it is not acidic. C wants us to make the jump and assume that it is more beneficial. But is it alkaline? Is it PH neutral? Do turtles need either one of those environments and don't tolerate the other? Is there leaking toxic chemical waste from an underground storage well? Is a local farmer dumping excess pesticides secretly?
    There could be a million reasons why SPond is not more beneficial for turtles and there is no way to trigger that contrapositive that we want.

    Hope this helps;.
