2. Continuous indoor fluorescent light benefits the health of hamsters with inherited heart disease. A group of them exposed to continuous fluorescent light survived twenty-five percent longer than a similar group exposed instead to equal periods of indoor fluorescent light and of darkness.

The method of the research described above is most likely to be applicable in addressing which of the following questions?

(A)  Can industrial workers who need to see their work do so better by sunlight or by fluorescent light?

(B)   Can hospital lighting be improved to promote the recovery of patients?

(C)  How do deep-sea fish survive in total darkness?

(D)  What are the inherited illnesses to which hamsters are subject?

      (E)Are there plants that require specific periods of darkness in order to bloom?

Really don't know how to get the answer(B)? In the question, "the method of the research" means exactly the same approach in the argument or the characteristic of the method, such as having different testing condition to different groups to see whether making any difference? Thanks.

连续的荧光灯照射对先天性心脏病人有好处：试验中连续照射的那一组比灯光和黑暗交替的那一组活的更长。

问题：以上在回答哪一个问题时最有用？

Ｂ照射能否提高病人的治愈率？

不知翻译对ＧＧ有用否，但我觉得这题看懂题目也就做出来了，比较直接。

希望对你有帮助

谢谢MM的热心回答。此题也许不难，但正中敝人命门。作题时，反复考虑“the method of the research"所指何物。到底是问整个这个实验(包括结果)对以下问题applicable 还是说用类似的方法是否对以下问题有帮助。看来MM是同意后者罗。Do I understand correctly? but why not E? Thanks.
