The cause of the wreck of the ship Edmund Fitzgeraid in a severe storm on lake Superior is still unknown , when the sunken wreckage of the vessel was round , searchers discovered the hull in two pieces lying close together , The storm's violent waves would have caused separate pieces floating even briefly on the surface to drift apart. Therefore, the breakup of the hull can be ruled out as the cause of the sinking.

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

AShips as large as the Edmund Fitzgerald rarely sink except in the most violent weather.
BUnder water currents at the time of the storm did not move the separated pieces of the hull together again .
CPieces of the hull would have sunk more quickly than the intact hull would have
DThe waves of the storm were not violent enough to have caused the breakup

试着翻译一下~

关于EF在一场严重暴风雨中沉没在S湖的原因至今还未知，当沉入水底的的残骸被发现的时候，研究人员发现两片船身靠的很近，

The storm’s violent waves would have caused separate pieces floating even briefly on the surface to drift apart. Therefore, the breakup of the hull can be ruled out as the cause of the sinking.

（由于）暴风雨强大的浪潮会将哪怕浮在水面上很短时间的碎片冲散开，因此船身破碎不是沉船的原因。其中wave cause SP to drift apart，floating even briefly on the surface，VING就近修饰SP。

知道意思之后ACE很快就可以排除，至于B，D，我认为是B优于D~
