Q38:

The ancient Nubians inhabited an area in which typhus occurred, yet surprisingly few of their skeletons show the usual evidence of this disease. The skeletons do show deposits of tetracycline, an antibiotic produced by a bacterium common in Nubian soil. This bacterium can flourish on the dried grain used for making two staples of the Nubian diet, beer and bread. Thus, tetracycline in their food probably explains the low incidence of typhus among ancient Nubians.

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

The tetracycline deposits did not form after the bodies were buried.
The diseases other than typhus to which the ancient Nubians were exposed would not be affected by tetracycline.
Typhus is generally fatal.
Nubian grain became contaminated with tetracycline-producing bacteria prior to being harvested.
Bread and beer were the only foods eaten by the ancient Nubians which could have contained tetracycline

有没有人可以告诉我A为什么对? 我想不出....

如果这些东西是人死后产生的，那么之前的那些“土里的细菌－食物－进入人体－不得病”这样的推理骑不是失去了推理的意义。
