Review: Asteroid Theory
Explanation
Creating a filter: The sentence as written has a
comparison. "Stronger evidence than now." The written form isn't expressing the
intended meaning, because it's comparing evidence with a time (now, that is).
It intends to compare stronger evidence with the evidence provided now. That
bit of extra wording is required to convey the idea precisely, so we go off
looking for it in the answer choices.
Applying the filter: (B) through (D) all solve that
problem. (B) and (C) both end with "and link." That phrasing distorts the
intended meaning, because it says not that the evidence is doing the linking,
but rather that the paleontologists are linking. The correct answer is
(D).
