Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: QOTD: Tiger beetles are such fast runners

We are asked to select an answer choice that would support one of the two hypotheses and undermine the other, so let's start by identifying the two hypotheses. Each of the following hypotheses is meant to explain why, "when running toward an insect, a tiger beetle will intermittently stop and then, a moment later, resume itsattack."

1) "Perhaps the beetles cannot maintain their pace and must pause for a moment's rest." - According to this hypothesis, the beetles cannot sustain their pace while running toward an insect and, thus, stop intermittently to rest.

2) "While running, tiger beetles are unable to adequately process the resulting rapidly changing visual information and so quickly go blind and stop." - According to this hypothesis, tiger beetles are exposed to rapidly changing visual information while running. The beetles are unable to adequately process all of this information, causing them to quickly go blind. The beetles must then pause until the blindness passes and they can resume their chase.
