With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:

1. Technology has eliminated the need for human intervention in ecological research.
2. Machine learning algorithms have rendered the prediction of ecological responses to climate change foolproof.
3. Genomic technologies have offered fresh observations regarding the factors responsible for making the ecosystem resilient.
4. Recent research in the field of ecology has resulted in a composition of high-resolution data and predictive modelling.

Which of the above assumption/s is /are valid?

  • A.1 and 2
  • B.1, 2 and 3
  • C.2 only
  • D.3 and 4

Answer: D

Assumptions 3 and 4 are valid.

Assumption 3 matches the passage: genomic technologies offer insights into ecosystem resilience. Assumption 4 matches its opening: recent research has turned field work into high-resolution data and predictive modelling.

Assumption 1 goes too far, because the passage never says human intervention is unnecessary. Assumption 2 goes too far, because predictions made by machine learning are not claimed to be foolproof. So 1 and 2, 1, 2 and 3, and 2 only are wrong.
