Thanks a lot David, that makes a lot more sense! This answer choice is definitely out of scope and you're right the word "any" extends this answer choice beyond the scope of the argument. Perhaps a person that is not fearful of situations in which o…
Is there any other reason apart from the word "unacceptable" for why D is incorrect?
It seems like the author is saying: The idea that some species can look the same and not be part of the same species (because they cannot interbreed) is not comp…
Ah thanks a lot for your response Motivated! The huge gap in this argument seems to be that genetic similarities between organism is indicative of whether they share a common ancestor, B weakens the argument by contradicting this assumption. As to …
