Q40:

Agricultural societies cannot exist without staple crops. Several food plants, such as kola and okra, are known to have been domesticated in western Africa, but they are all supplemental, not staple, foods. All the recorded staple crops grown in western Africa were introduced from elsewhere, beginning, at some unknown date, with rice and yams. Therefore, discovering when rice and yams were introduced into western Africa would establish the earliest date at which agricultural societies could have arisen there.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

People in western Africa did not develop staple crops that they stopped cultivating once rice and yams were introduced.
There are no plants native to western Africa that, if domesticated, could serve as staple food crops.
Rice and yams were grown as staple crops by the earliest agricultural societies outside of western Africa.
Kola and okra are better suited to growing conditions in western Africa than domesticated rice and yams are.
Kola and okra were domesticated in western Africa before rice and yams were introduced there.

答案是A，感觉就是把“ All the recorded staple crops grown in western Africa were introduced from elsewhere, beginning, at some unknown date, with rice and yams”这句话重说了一遍，这也算assumption？

A. People in western Africa did not develop staple crops that they stopped cultivating once rice and yams were introduced.（表达有点怪：一旦米和山药引进后，西非的人们不再生产他们停止种植的主食作物。也就是没有过度期，引进就是唯一主食了。）
