LSAT Practice Test

Which one of the following discoveries, if it were made, would most support the above hypothesis about South America and Africa?

1. Option A

2. Option B

3. Option C

4. Option D

The correct answer is: Option D

The hypothesis mentioned in the question suggests that South America and Africa were once connected. To support this hypothesis, the most relevant discovery would be evidence of similar rock formations and fossils on the eastern coast of South America and the western coast of Africa. Option D directly aligns with this requirement by providing information about matching rock formations and fossils found on these coastlines, which strengthens the idea that the two continents were once joined. Options A, B, and C do not offer information that directly supports the hypothesis about South America and Africa being connected. Therefore, they are not as relevant or supportive as Option D.
