Question 23 Question 24 Question 25 Question 26 Question 27

The biologist argues that the evolutionary advantage of sexual reproduction is increasing genetic variation. But this benefit applies to the species as a whole, not to individual members. Thus, the only reason that sexual reproduction is widespread among animals and plants is because natural selection has favored entire species over others.

This is a premise that is used to support the author’s conclusion that natural selection has favored some species over others.

This is an accurate description of the claim. It directly supports the conclusion that the reason sexual reproduction is prevalent is due to natural selection favoring some species over others.

This statement does not cast doubt on the conclusion. It is the main premise used to support it.

The argument does not challenge this claim. The biologist believes this claim and uses it as a premise to support the conclusion

The argument does not seek to explain this claim. The claim is used as support to explain the main conclusion.

This statement is not the main explanation for the observed phenomenon. The “main explanation” of the phenomenon is the conclusion of the argument.
