It shows that they assume that they do not have any other alternative.Īdditionally, "immediate release" forced me to choose the words near future. Now b/w A and D.I am not convinced by the OA.Ĭonclusion says that to claim the land farmers urge to release the virus. I am sure that B, C and E are the assumptions. Australian farmers urge scientists to release this virus so that they can reclaim pastoral land currently lost to rabbits. Scientists have recently isolated a virus which has devastated rabbit populations in Central Asia and is harmless to humans. 5 They were bred as food animals, probably in cages. The rabbit population, left unchecked, expands to such large numbers that it destroys large areas of pastoral land by stripping it of grass. History Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, rabbit shooting at Barwon Park, Victoria in the 1860s Rabbits were first introduced to Australia by the First Fleet in 1788. Jube wrote:Rabbits are not native to Australia, which lacks predators capable of keeping their numbers in check. May be farmers think that there are multiple ways to do the work, but they thought that the given method is working fine in Asia, so lets apply the same here. Now D says that farmers thought that it is the ONLY way. Note : we have to choose the option which is NOT an assumption. Can people who've chosen D talk through their thought process? I'm not sure what in the passage clues you in to D being just a possibility. The explanation provided for choosing D is: In this case, the farmers don't assume that the virus is the ONLY way to eradicate rabbits they simply see it as a possibility. so it's something that farmers will not assume. Moreover, even if A is true it won't affect the argument in any way since there are no predators in Australia which will keep the population of rabbits in check. Why is A wrong? For me the fight was b/w A & D and then I went with A because it seemed like D would be an assumption that farmers *would* make. The farmers who urge the immediate release of the virus assume all of the following EXCEPTĪ) the number of natural predators will not significantly increase in Australia in the near futureī) the virus will not be harmful to livestock that graze on the pastoral landĬ) the virus will have the same effect on rabbits in Australia as on rabbits in central Asiaĭ) the release of the virus is the only means of reducing the rabbit population in AustraliaĮ) If the rabbit population fell in Australia, land that had been damaged by rabbits would return to a state useful for farming The rabbit population, left unchecked, expands to such large numbers that it destroys large areas of pastoral land by stripping it of grass. Rabbits are not native to Australia, which lacks predators capable of keeping their numbers in check.
