标题: 求教OG 12 -45，拜托大家了
45.Some anthropologists study modern-day societies of foragers in an effort to learn about our ancient ancestors who were also foragers. A flaw in this strategy is that forager societies are extremely varied. Indeed, any forager society with which anthropologists are familiar has had considerable contact with modern, non-forager societies.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the criticism made above of the anthropologists' strategy?
(A)All forager societies throughout history have had
a number of important features in common that
are absent from other types of societies.

(B)Most ancient forager societies either dissolved
or made a transition to another way of life.

(0All anthropologists study one kind or another of
modern-day society.

(D)Many anthropologists who study modern-day
forager societies do not draw inferences about
ancient societies on the basis of their studies.

(E)Even those modern-day forager societies that
have not had significant contact with modern
societies are importantly different from ancient
forager societies.

答案是A
题目：The argument 反对比较现代和古代的foraging societies，因为两点原因：1现存foraging societies的多样性，2现在的foraging societies与现在的non-foraging societies接触多。看哪个选项使这个批评削弱。
我想问的是D选项的解释说人类学家可能认为这个comparision是没用的，为什么就没有weaken这个argument呢？
说comparision没用不与削弱这个批评到底有什么样的不同，我感觉有一点，但是还是想不清楚。
拜托大家帮我看看咯。

"weaken the criticism"意思就是supporting the anthropologists~
所以只能选A我觉得

D:whether anthropologists draw inferences has no relationship with the topic.
A: the article said that we cannot use modern foragers to analyze ancient ancestors because they had considerable contacts with non-forager societies. But A said:there are important features in common within foragers which non-forager societies don't have

同意1楼。绕来绕去其实就是问怎么支持原来做法。
D与主题无关，没有涉及到现在的研究

这个是因为premise里的extremly varied吧...A说common正好对应premise里的varied, weaken...

D. 考古学家的strategy是研究现在了解过去，如果他们"do not draw inferences about ancient societies on the basis of their studies."那说明他们的stategy没用咯，不选

看题目：in an effort to learn about our ancestors.
所以如果按照D所说，人类学家们研究现代foragers不是为了得出有关古代社会的结论，那就连他们最初研究的目的in effort to都否定了，那这个研究方法就是彻彻底底地失败了啊。
