Question

The "robber" in the first sentence is most like which of the following mentioned in the paragraph?

• A. wild animals
• B. produce of every pair
• C. individuals of a species
• D. crew of a foundered ship
• E. good swimmers

Answer 1

The correct option is E good swimmers

Option E, good swimmers, is the correct answer. The author has built the analogy of the robber besting his competitors and winning the race of survival, just like the competent swimmers who can swim their way out of a shipwreck. The statements of the options A,B,C and D are not analogous to the term in question, and thus, are incorrect.
