PrepTest 58, Section 3, Question 11
Researcher: This fall I returned to a research site to recover the armadillos I had tagged there the previous spring.

Which one of the following is an assumption required by the researcher's argument?
Of the armadillos living in the area of the tagging site last spring, few were able to avoid being tagged by the researcher.
Most of the armadillos tagged the previous spring were not recaptured during the subsequent fall.
Predators did not kill any of the armadillos that had been tagged the previous spring.
The tags identifying the armadillos cannot be removed by the armadillos, either by accident or deliberately.
A large majority of the recaptured armadillos did not move to a new territory in the intervening summer and then move back to the old territory by the fall.
