In a certain wildlife park, park rangers are able to track the movements of many rhinoceroses because those animals wear radio collars. When, as often happens, a collar slips off, it is put back on. Putting a collar on a rhinoceros involves immobilizing the animal by shooting it with a tranquilizer dart. Female rhinoceroses that have been frequently recollared have significantly lower fertility rates than uncollared females. Probably, therefore, some substance in the tranquilizer inhibits fertility.
In evaluating the argument, it would be most useful to determine which of the following?

Female rhinoceroses that have been frequently recollared have significantly lower fertility rates than uncollared females. Probably, some substance in the tranquilizer inhibits fertility. In evaluating the argument, it would be most useful to determine which of the following? A. Whether there are more collared female rhinoceroses than uncollared female rhinoceroses in the park. B. How the tranquilizer that is usd for immobilizing rhinoceroses differs, if at all, from tranquilizers used in working with other large mammals. C. How often park rangers need to use tranquilizer darts to immobilize rhinoceroses for reasons other than attaching radio collars. D. Whether male rhinoceroses in the wildlife park lose their collars any more than the park's female rhinoceroses do. E. Whether radio collars are the only practical means that park rangers have for tracking the movements of rhinoceroses in the park. 答案是C,何解。。。
I think here we need to evaluate whether frequently recollared have significantly lower fertility rates than uncollared females has relationship with tranquilizer If tranquilizer also used for reasons other than attaching radio collars, there is no direct relationship between tranquilizer and recollared lower fertility rates
我还是无法理解,即使如楼上所说,tranquilizer also used for reasons other than attaching radio collars,我们也只能知道recollar和lower fertility rates可能无关,但不能推出tranquilizer和lower fertility rates无关啊。。。
