老弟误解我的意思了,我说这在逻辑上是很容易理解的,是指:如果你支持一个原因(包括本题的第一个破折号之前的结论),那也必然支持他的结论。
请看本题的结论: Therefore, if the population of these other species were increased, the number of ticks acquiring the bacterium--- and hence the number of people contracting Lyme disease— would likely decline.
B之所以不对,因为它类似于他因加强结论and hence the number of people contracting Lyme disease would likely decline。即:排除了contracting Lyme disease through contact with white-footed mice了一种可能。他因排除支持。但是,它与另一个结论the number of ticks acquiring the bacterium would likely decline. 无关。
而C为什么对呢?因为C相当于说,相当于因为 A deer tick in the larval stage吃的很少,所以,增加替代the population of these other species是比较有意义的。因而支持the number of ticks acquiring the bacterium would likely decline. 而该结论是另个结论(and hence the number of people contracting Lyme disease would likely decline;注意and hence )的原因,因而也就支持了第二个结论。所以,是most strengthens the argument |
