Complete Question Explanation

Justify the Conclusion—SN. The correct answer choice is (E)

The conclusion in this Justify question—human life has the same origin as all other known life—introduces a new term (“same origin”) that must be accounted for in the correct answer. To prove this conclusion and the new term, the answer needs to show that things with the same composition (same kinds of matter) will always have the same origin.

Answer choice (A): This does not include the new term from the conclusion so it cannot be correct.

Answer choice (B): This does not include the new term from the conclusion so it cannot be correct.

Answer choice (C): This does not include the new term from the conclusion so it cannot be correct.

Answer choice (D): This does not include the new term from the conclusion so it cannot be correct.

Answer choice (E): This is the correct answer choice. As mentioned above, this shows that living things composed of the same matter, like humans and all other living things (composed of carbon and genetic codes), will have the same origin and thus the conclusion is proven correct.
