Reading the passage
What can we safely say about okapis? They are less rare than some zoologists thought, yet remain hard to see because of their camouflage and habits. We know those broad points; we don't have a precise population comparison or answers to every remaining question.
Working the answers
- A
Larger than expected doesn't establish many times larger. A modest increase and a severalfold increase would both fit being less rare than expected. No figures settle which it is.
- B
The final paragraph still raises questions about habitat and distribution. Radio tracking hasn't answered everything.
- CCorrect
Camouflage works “even at close range,” and the animals stay in the forest interior rather than moving in groups or frequenting open areas. Those features make encounters difficult and explain why hunters rarely capture them.
- D
The diet says the opposite: okapis never restrict their diet to a single plant (paragraph 3). Dependence on one species isn't the explanation for their restricted range.
- E
We don't know that food or territory currently limits their population, so more open foraging doesn't establish steady growth. Predators and competition are also possible reasons for avoiding those borders. The proposed population result is more than the evidence gives us.
