Q18

[lolitatrekkie]

I had a hard time with this question and I don't understand why answer choice C is correct and not E.

I thought it was E because of ln 29-33.

Thank you!

Answer choice (C) is supported in lines 16-19 (not been ruled out) and 19-33 (not supported by experimental data).

Incorrect Answers
(A) is contradicted in lines 16-19.
(B) is contradicted (lines 16-19 and lines 22-28). There are theoretical models, just not experimental support.
(D) is contradicted (lines 19-29). There are no supporting experimental results.
(E) is too strong. The theory has not been proven, but to say that it is not useful goes to far. Furthermore, there have been several studies that were designed and another one designed, but not yet tested (lines 19-33).
