Reading the passage
Darwin's letters show him drawing on other scientists through extensive scientific discussion. The point isn't simply that he wrote a lot. The example makes his collaboration concrete.
What we’re looking for
We should look for a corresponding instance of Arp and Tifft opening their work to contributions from other scientists, including checks that might expose problems.
Working the answers
- A
Anomalous phenomena introduce the setting in which the three modes matter. That isn't an example of seeking other scientists' involvement.
- B
Their long-standing claim tells us what they argue, not how they draw on other researchers.
- C
The accepted redshift interpretation supplies the view being challenged. It doesn't illustrate collaboration.
- DCorrect
Encouraging others to make “independent observations” brings other scientists into checking the work. That parallels Darwin's use of the community's resources, illustrated by his scientific correspondence.
- E
Being regarded as heretics describes the community's reaction to them. Darwin's letters instead illustrate his own collaborative practice.
