Biologist: “People should not remove animals from their natural habitat, even if injured. After being cared for by humans, animals often lose their ability to survive in the wild on their own, leaving them vulnerable to predators. It is never appropriate to interfere with nature.”

Each of the following would undermine the biologist’s argument EXCEPT:
  1. Humans generally only remove animals when they are so injured as to be unable to survive in the wild anyway.
  2. Humans often mistake a minor injury in an animal for a serious injury.
  3. Trained wildlife professionals do their best not to disturb the animal’s habitat when rescuing it.
  4. If cared for only a short time by humans, many animals can successfully reintegrate in the wild.
  5. Without human interference, many extremely endangered species would disappear.
Explanation
Answer: B - The only answer that does not undermine the biologist’s argument is that humans often mistake a minor injury in an animal for a serious injury. All of the other responses explain how the biologist’s fears are either unfounded or not appropriate.
