Question ID:PT26 S3 Q8 Passage:Grasses and woody plants are planted on dirt embankments to keep the embankments from eroding.  The embankments are mowed to keep the grasses from growing too tall; as a result, clippings pile up.  These piles of clippings smother the woody plants, causing their roots, which serve to keep the embankments from eroding, to rot; they also attract rodents that burrow into the dirt and damage the woody plants' roots.  Therefore, bringing in predators to eradicate the rodents will prevent erosion of the embankments. Stem:Which one of the following is an error of reasoning in the argument?

Choice D:One possible solution to a problem is claimed to be the only possible solution to that problem. Choice E:An action that would eliminate one cause of a problem is treated as if it would solve the entire problem.
