Question 20 Question 21 Question 22 Question 23 Question 24 Question 25 Question 26 Question 27

Mammals’ temperature-controlling ability factors into the development of their brain and intelligence. Why? Because brains are chemical, chemical reactions depend on temperature, and mammals are able to assure those reactions happen at the appropriate temperature.

The author tries to use the fact that mammals can assure chemical reactions are happening at the right temperature as support, but her conclusion is about development of the brain and intelligence. We need to know these these two things (temperature-controlled chemical reactions and development of brain and intelligence) are related.

Irrelevant. We don’t need information about organisms without this ability. The argument is about mammals, and they do have this ability.

The conclusion is specific to mammals, but it isn’t necessary that mammals are the only ones with this ability.

Similar to (A), we do not need information about uncontrolled temperature or organisms without this ability. The argument is about mammals that can control temperatures.

This must be true. If negated, the development of intelligence has nothing to do with the chemical reactions that mammals can temperature-control. The premises would be severed from the conclusion, and the argument is ruined.

Like (A) and (C), we do not need information about organisms without this ability. It isn’t necessary or relevant to the argument; we are discussing mammals that do have this ability.
