Question

Which of these predictions is the likeliest a priori to be INCORRECT?

a) aquatic animals are more likely to be large than small because the former enhances water conservation

b) terrestrial animals are more likely to be small than large as the former would be predicted to enhance water retention

c) aquatic animals are less likely to encounter daily temperature fluxes than terrestrial due to their environment

d) Two, but not all three, of the above are likely to be INCORRECT

e) All of the first three are likely to be INCORRECT

Explanation / Answer

First you have to know what "a priori" means

A priori is an expression of Latin meaning "of the above" (ie the previous part) The expression is used to demonstrate something that goes from its cause to the effect. For solvig this for each paragraph you have to identify what is the cause and what the effect is.

For the first paragraph the efect is "the aquatic animals are more lakely to be large" the cuase is "enhances water conservation" and almost same for the second paragraph.

The third paragraph also is wrong. So the correct answet is the "e)" all the tree paragraphs are worded as a effect-cause and not the other way around.
