Solution Combined Sentence (B3P):  "Increasing wildlife numbers have led to wide dispersal outside protected areas; therefore, wildlife is everywhere now, in new ecological niches created by global warming." Logical Analysis: The use of "therefore" establishes a cause-and-effect relationship, where the increase in wildlife numbers and dispersal outside protected areas has led to animals occupying new habitats created by environmental changes like global warming. This pairing effectively explains how increased wildlife dispersal has resulted in animals being found in various new habitats. This combination is logical and coherent. Combined Sentence (C1R): "Plants and animals have successfully adapted to living almost incognito amongst us, for instance, elusive leopards have developed quite an appetite for domestic dogs." Logical Analysis: The use of "for instance" provides an example of how animals have adapted to living closer to human settlements by changing their behavior or diet, as illustrated by leopards preying on domestic dogs. This pairing highlights a specific case of wildlife adaptation to human-influenced environments, supporting the broader statement about animals adapting to live among humans. This combination is also logical and coherent. Both B3P and C1R logically convey the relationships between the increase in wildlife numbers, their adaptation to new habitats, and specific examples of this adaptation. This makes Option C the correct answer.
