Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=10960)
The correct answer choice is (A)
Based on the discussion of passage Differences above, we can create a general prephrase to answer this question: The main difference between the two passages is that, while Passage A focuses exclusively on honeybee communication, Passage B has a broader scope. This prephrase agrees with answer choice (A), which is correct.
Answer choice (A): This is the correct answer choice. See discussion above.
Answer choice (B): This answer choice is incorrect, because both authors discuss studies conducted on animal communication. Given that the studies amount to “evidence” adduced by scientists in support of their claims, it is incorrect to suggest that Passage B does not discuss such evidence.
Answer choice (C): Passage B is not entirely about recent theories of animal communication, because its author mentions von Frisch, Wenner, and Gould, all of whom are part of the historic development of theories of honeybee communication (as discussed in Passage A).
Answer choice (D): Neither author is concerned with explaining the distinction between symbolic and nonsymbolic animal communication, and only Passage B alludes to such a difference in the first paragraph (lines 35-38).
Answer choice (E): Passage B might have a broader scope than Passage A; however, the author of Passage B does not seek to gain insight into human communication. This is entirely outside the scope of Passage B.
