122. The spacing of the four holes on a fragment of a bone fl ute 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, if true, most strongly supports the hypothesis?

(A) Bone fl utes 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 fl ute found
at the Neanderthal campsite.
(C) The fl ute was made from a cave-bear bone and the campsite at which the fl ute 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 fl ute would have been long enough to make a fl ute
capable of playing a complete diatonic scale.

这句话结论要求2点，一个是DMS很久以前存在，一个是DMS在被西方音乐家使用之前已经用了上千年。那么我就觉得这个证明DMS很久以前存在就是靠选B支撑，因为B是说没有任何乐器早于文中的FLUTE，FLUTE可以演奏DMS的3-6个音阶，所以我知道DMS很久就存在，B就填补了这个GAP. 答案E也有道理，所以我就CONFUSE啦，请好心人指点下，谢谢。

First of all, the conclusion of the argument is only one---the diatonic musical scale was developed and used thousands of years before it was adopted by Western musicians. So the right answer should prove that the diatonic musical scale was developed and used at the at the Neanderthal campsite because these have not been proved in the argument.

B is absolutely a unrelated options because "no musical instrument that is known to have used a diatonic scale is of an earlier date than the flute found" does not mean that the diatonic scale is used at the Neanderthal campsite.
