Review: Stress Transfer Theory II
Explanation
This question asks about what we know to be the "rival"
method mentioned in line 28. We review the description in lines 28-34: the method
is based on the presence and the absence of foreshocks, and statistical
analysis of that information. Choice (A) fits that description. Choices (B),
(C) and (E) all belong to the stress fault technique, if they belong to either
one. In (D), probabilistic simulations might be an outcome of the prediction,
but they are not the basis for the
predictions, as described in the passage.
The correct answer is (A).
