Hi Marissa, thanks for the question
This is a Parallel question that requires us to match the sufficient/necessary reasoning in the passage with the correct answer choice.
The argument states that:
Major earthquake in region -> Preceded by series of minor tremors
It concludes:
Preceded by a series of minor tremors -> Major earthquake in region
This conclusion is a reversal of the information provided in the premises.
Answer choice E does the exact same thing.
Local outbreaks of this disease among humans -> Detection of high infection rates among local wildlife
Therefore, detection of high infection rates among local wildlife -> local outbreak of this disease among humans.
Same reversal.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
