RC Question 2 Explanation, by LSATHacks

DISCUSSION: This question is asking for a specific detail. Paragraph 2 talks about why Great Zimbabwe grazed cattle in different elevations. We’re told one reason is to avoid disease carried by the tsetse fly.

___________

1. This isn’t mentioned in paragraph 2 as a reason for changing grazing lands.
2. “Paucity” means a small quantity. So this answer choice is saying the lack of feeding grain caused the cattle to move to different elevations, which is wrong.
3. CORRECT. Cattle were moved to graze at different elevations to avoid the risk of the cattle disease carried by the tsetse fly.
4. This wasn’t mentioned in the passage.
5. This wasn’t mentioned in the passage.
