Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: A developer wants to develop a tract of scrub forest where scrub jays

Here's(E):

E. The scrub jaypopulation in the tract that the developer plans to leave undeveloped is smallenough that there is room for additional jays to nestthere.­

Notice that "small enough" in (E) does not describe "the tract." Rather, what's small enough is "the scrub jay population."

So, the point of (E) is that there is room in the tract for the displaced jays to nest because the current population is "small enough" to leave room for the other jays. After all, if the current jay population in the track is not small enough, then there won't be room for additional jays.

So, yes, the use of the wording "small enough" makes sense.
