3. The passage suggests which of the following about the DNA-based map created by zoologists?

Difficulty Level: Hard

Explanation

This is an inference question. Read the lines about the DNA-based map in the second half of the final paragraph. It states “First, scientists gathered genetic data from the population of African elephants, an arduous effort that ultimately resulted in a detailed DNA-based map of the distribution of African elephants.” The author uses the word “arduous” to describe the effort, so choice B is a valid inference.

Choice A goes too far because the map allows the researchers to track populations, but not individual elephants.

Choice C is not necessarily true.

Choice D and E might be true but are not supported by information in the passage.

Answer: B.

4. The passage is chiefly concerned with

Difficulty Level: Medium

Explanation

This is a main idea question. The first part of the passage explains why the ivory ban has become less effective, while the second part shows that there is a potential solution to the problems with the ban. Choice E states this.

Choice A only discusses half of the passage, so it doesn’t go far enough.

The primary point is not to criticize countries, so choice B is incorrect.

Funding issues are not the main purpose, making choice C also incorrect.

Choice D has the wrong tone because the author is simply describing the plan, not “advocating” it.

Answer: E.

Hi, why can't the answer be C in the 3rd question? Isn't the entire premise to hold countries responsible? Please explain.
