Rat Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 In order for an organism to evolve or survive any length of time, it must learn to somehow deal with the issue of UV rays, which implies that the very oldest sorts of organisms that exist on Earth today all have mechanisms such as the production of sunscreen pigments like melanin, also known as tanning, to protect themselves.

bungholio Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 this part - that the very oldest sorts of organisms that exist on Earth today all have mechanisms such as the production of sunscreen pigments like melanin, also known as tanning, to protect themselves. doesnt change in the answer choices. I wonder why it has been underlined. the underlined part is like a supporting statement. so C is my best pick here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rat Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 OA is C. Expl. given at source. "This is a somewhat cumbersome sentence, but the actual piece tested is fairly straightforward. However, many people have difficulty with imply versus infer. The first clause is the conclusion based on the second clause, which is stated as fact. The first clause does not, therefore, imply the second, nor can it be implied from the second, so that eliminates choices A and E. A conclusion drawn, based on a given fact is an inference, so the answer must be B or C. The first part doesn't infer the second, rather it is inferred by the second, so answer C is correct."
