Othefwtse. it risks being snapped up by a predator etevef-enough to take-advantage of its lowered defenses. The important parts here are it the arthropod risks being snapped up by a predator. Now our job is to find the answer choice that contains these elements and these elements only. Here are the choices again. A Arthropods are only vulnerable to predators during the period in which their shell is tender and easily penetrated.

C While the arthropod s shell is hardening the arthropod cannot rely on its shell to protect it from predators. D When the arthropod s defenses are lowered it will use many different strategies to avoid predators. Let s consider each choice. Start with choice A . It does mention arthropods and predators which is good. However we arc missing some information. There is no mention of hiding one of our key elements. Also choice A states that arthropods are only this period. That is beyond the information in the passage. Eliminate A . Answer B is problematic because it makes predators the subject. We should have something that talks about arthropods. Eliminate this choice. Now look at C . It first mentions the weakened shell which matches with sentence 1. Next it says the arthropod cannot rely on its shell. At first this doesn t seem to match but sentence 2 stated that the creature must remain in hiding this is an example of not relying on its shell. Finally the choice mentions the predators from sentence 3. Everything matches so keep this choice. Choice D is close but it has one big problem. It mentions many different strategies whereas the passage only mentions one. We don t want any choice that adds information so eliminate D . That leaves choice C as the best answer.
