标题: 请教OG12 sample question中第26题
Guillemots are birds of Arctic Regions. They feed on fish that gather beneath thin sheets of floating ice, and they nest on nearby land. Guillemots need 80 consecutive snow-free days in a year to raise their chicks, so until average temperatures in the Arctic began to rice recently, the guillemots' range was limited to the southernmost Arctic coast. Therefore, if the warming continues, the guillemots' range will probably be enlarged by being extended northward along the coast.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A. Even when the warming trend continues, there will still be years in which guillemot chicks are killed by an unusually early snow.
B. If the Arctic warming continues, guillemots' current predators are likely to succeed in extending their own range farther north.
C. Guillemots nest in coastal areas, where temperatures are generally high than inland areas.
D. If the Arctic warming continues, much of the thin ice in the southern Arctic will disappear.
E. The fist that guillemots eat are currently preyed on by a wilder variety of predators in the southernmost Arctic regions than they are farther north.

Ans: D

个人觉得哪个答案都有缺陷。。。
关于正确答案D,我是这么考虑的,冰化了,也就是说G就没有鱼可以吃了,那么它可能就会往北迁移。而这,不反而支持了argument了吗?咋就weaken了呢?
不明
请大家求教!

LZ,先看D选项,southern 的没有了,guillemots吃的鱼的生存环境没有了所以guillemots北迁整体移动),同时丢失northern的栖息地,而不是扩散expand——没有enlarge
