Flaw Questions, Dec 00 and Oct 01 LSAT

[cafe au lait]

Hi All--can some one help me with these 2 problems?

Dec 00 LSAT Section 2 #15

#15 The ozone/ pollution problem where scientists want to reverse the effects by sending a space craft to observe and environmentalists contest to this because of the pollution the craft will emit.

I was down between A and C. But why is C incorrect?


Oct 01 LSAT, Section 2, #24

I was down to B and D. Why isnt D correct?

Thank you!

Are the environmentalists really confused about the difference between preventing and reducing?

I was down to B and D. Why isnt D correct?

Why "should" the conclusion focus on the relation between pravastatin and cholesterol levels?

Thank you for your response...actually for the first problem (scientists vs environmentalists) I was attracted to C because I thought the environmentalists flaw was that they failed to see the purpose of why they wanted to launch a space craft, that it was launched in order to gain the info to reverse the damage.

C says - fails to distinguish the goal of reversing harmful effects from the goal of preventing harmful effects...so I translated this as the env's not being able to see the difference between the scientists goals and their goal of not wanting excess pollution to begin with.
