Reading the passage
The third paragraph gives two benefits of herding: more eyes can watch for predators, and any one animal has a smaller chance of being attacked. We need one of those stated benefits, not another advantage that a herd might plausibly provide.
Working the answers
- A
More eyes can spot a predator; that doesn't mean the group intimidates it. Intimidation isn't mentioned.
- B
The benefit isn't divided by age. We aren't told that adults provide easier protection for younger animals.
- C
Finding food and water isn't a stated benefit. In fact, the paragraph mentions increased competition for food as a possible cost of herding.
- DCorrect
Herding reduces each animal’s risk of attack (paragraph 3). That's the reduced individual risk we predicted.
- E
The text doesn't describe where the most defenseless animals stand or how a central position protects them. It gives a general reduction in individual risk, not this particular arrangement.
