The response of the countries with the worst poaching problems to the situation was most analogous to:

  • A.a tax evader who uses deceptive accounting practices to hide her income from auditors
  • B.an embezzler who steals from her company by pilfering small amounts of money over a long period of time
  • C.a criminal who argues that it is not he but one of his accomplices who is guilty of a crime
  • D.a con artist who convinces his victim that it is in the victim’s best interest to help him

Answer: C

Correct answer: a criminal who argues that it is not he but one of his accomplices who is guilty of the crime

The passage says such countries used the uncertainty about the ivory's origin to avoid responsibility… by attempting to blame other countries. Shifting the blame onto another party while the offence is not in dispute is exactly the analogy required; concealment and deception are different moves.
