Mindful of this enormous increase in leisure time over the past century, many people assume that the same trend has obtained throughout history, and that, therefore, prehistoric humans must have labored incessantly for their very survival.
We cannot, of course, directly test this assumption. However, a study of primitive peoples of today suggests a different conclusion. The Mbuti of central Africa, for instance, spend only a few hours each day in hunting, gathering, and tending to other economic necessities. The rest of their time is spent as they choose. The implication is that the short workday is not peculiar to industrialized societies. Rather, both the extended workday of 1880 and the shorter workday of today are products of different stages of the continuing process of industrialization.
Which of the following, if true, would most greatly strengthen the argument made in the passage above?
(A) In recent decades, the economy of the Mbuti has been markedly affected by the encroachment of modern civilization.
(B) The life-style of the Mbuti is similar to that of prehistoric humans.
(C) The Mbuti have no words in their language to express the distinction between work activities and leisure activities.
(D) The workday of a European peasant in medieval times averaged between eleven and fifteen hours.（B）
(E) The members of the Shaklik tribe in central Asia have an average workday of ten to twelve hours.
题目的意思不是为了要说明The implication is that the short workday is not peculiar to industrialized societies. Rather, both the extended workday of 1880 and the shorter workday of today are products of different stages of the continuing process of industrialization.吗？？ 那这个B可以解释些什么呢？？怎么加强结论的呢？？

The conclusion is the short workday is not peculiar to industrialized societies1 Premise: Today vs 1880 2 Premise: a study of primitive peoples of todaysuggests a different conclusion
需要注意的是primitive peoples of today 就是说今天的原始人，举了那个M地方的，大概相当于某非洲部落，他们还是原始的生活。 这里就应该有一个gap就是现在的primitive people of M 和好几百年前的prehistoric people生活方式是一样的，这样才能说明prehistoric people休息的多工作的少哇
