In an experiment conducted at a laboratory, 160 white mice were injected with Serum D. 160 other white mice were injected with a harmless sugar solution. In two weeks time 39% of the white mice, who were injected with Serum D contracted the highly contagious and often fatal disease, jungle fever. Hence, it can be concluded that jungle fever is caused by some elements similar to the elements in Serum D.

The above argument would be highly empowered in case it were shown that:

• Some of the elements in Serum D are extracted form the root of certain poisonous jungle wildflower. A
• Within a period of two weeks about 40% of the white mice, who were injected with a harmless sugar solution also contracted jungle fever. B
• Almost all the white mice died within a period of two days after the first symptoms appeared. C
• Normally the rate of jungle fever among white mice is less than 0.01%. D
• Invariably the blood of the victims of jungle fever victims contains a high level of a certain toxic substance also found in serum D. E
