标题: OG逻辑题求教 [打印本页] 作者: melody远行 时间: 2012-6-22 08:35 标题: OG逻辑题求教 The spacing of the four holes on a fragment ofa bone flute excavated at a Neanderthal campsite is just what is required to play the third through sixth notes of the diatonic scale—the seven-note musical scale used in much of Western music since the Renaissance. Musicologists therefore hypothesize that the diatonic musical scale was developed and used thousands of years before it was adopted by Western musicians. Which of the following, iftrue, most strongly supports the hypothesis? (A) Bone flutes were probably the only musical instrument made by Neanderthals. (B) No musical instrument that is known to have used a diatonic scale is of an earlier date than the flute found at the Neanderthal campsite. (0 The flute was made from a cave-bear bone and the campsite at which the flute fragment was excavated was in a cave that also contained skeletal remains of cave bears. (D) Flutes are the simplest wind instrument that can be constructed to allow playing a diatonic scale. (E) The cave-bear leg bone used to make the Neanderthal flute would have been long enough to make a flute capable of playing a complete diatonic scale. 第二遍刷OG还是做错了这题，能详细解释一些E是如何支持选项的吗？OG后面的解释还是没能太理解。感激！作者: fayechina 时间: 2012-6-22 10:02
废墟里挖出来的骨笛只能play the third through sixth notes of the diatonic scale，如果它能按照E中所说play a complete diatonic scale，那就更符合题目中的结论diatonic musical scale was developed and used thousands of years before it was adopted by Western musicians 第一次回答别人的问题 不知对不对 嘻嘻 加油作者: babybearmm 时间: 2012-6-22 11:57
"strengthen" is not equal to "prove"
As long as this answer choice makes the conclusion MORE LIKELY TO BE TRUE, the choice strengthens the argument.
(E) says "long enough to make a flute capable of playing a complete diatonic scale" wow~~that was good! That makes me more convinced of the conclusion.
