Support Extinction is inevitable for all biological species. ██ █████ ███ ████ ████████ ██ ███ ███████ ████ ████ ████ █████ ███ ███ ████████ █████ ███ ███████ ███ ███ ███████████ █████ ██ ██ █████████████ ███ ██████ ██ ███████ ███████ ████ ███ █████████ ███████████ ████ █████ ████ ███ ██ █████ ████ ██████████ ████
The stimulus operates by claiming that we should not take a positive action (protecting species) to delay a certain negative outcome (extinction) because that outcome is guaranteed to happen eventually.

Mismatched premise. (A) says that a certain outcome happens sometimes (library books you want are sometimes checked out), not that the outcome is guaranteed in every case.
spend money on ██████████ ███████████ ██ █ ███ ███████ ██ ███ ███ ████ ████████████
The stimulus operates by claiming that we should not take a positive action (preventative maintenance) to delay a certain negative outcome (car trouble) because that outcome is guaranteed to happen eventually.
reinforce bridges against ███████████ ██ ████████████████ █████ ███████ ███████████ █████ ████ ████ ████████████
Mismatched premise. (C) says we should not take a certain preventative action (reinforcing bridges) because a negative outcome (earthquake) is rare, while the stimulus operates by saying that we shouldn’t take a preventative action because the negative outcome is inevitable.

Mismatched premise. (D) says that a certain outcome is possible anywhere (any route can have traffic jams), not that the outcome is guaranteed in every case.

Mismatched premise. (E) is missing the aspect of certainty; (E) just says that an outcome (plants dying) is “likely.”
