Which of the following most logically completes the argument given below?
People in isolated rain-forest communities tend to live on a largely vegetarian diet, and they eat little salt. Few of them suffer from high blood pressure, and their blood pressure does not tend to increase with age, as is common in industrialized countries. Such people often do develop high blood pressure when they move to cities and adopt high-salt diets. Though suggestive, these facts do not establish salt as the culprit in high blood pressure, however, because_____.

Such people often do develop high blood pressure when they move to cities and adopt high-salt diets. Though suggestive, these facts do not establish salt as the culprit in high blood pressure, however, because ________.
A. genetic factors could account for the lack of increase of blood pressure with age among such people. B. people eating high-salt diets and living from birth in cities in industrialized societies generally have a tendency to have high blood pressure
C. it is possible to have a low-salt diet while living in a city in an industrialized country D. there are changes in other aspects of diet when such people move to the city
E. salt is a necessity for human life, and death can occur when the body loses too much salt
Rainforest: Veg diet + little salt + do not suffer from HBP + BP doesnt increase with Age.
Change: Move to City + high salt diet
City: HBP
But eating high salt is not culprit because ?
记笔记有啥用?又不是听写的题。
先读问题,知道是削弱/加强/假设/评价等
读题找出premise和conclusion
premise: 让我们自己找其他fact
conclusion: these facts do not establish salt as the culprit in high blood pressure
同时注意这是一个果因推理,因为conclusion的内容是对现象原因的推测,所以一定是因发生在先,所以conclusion的内容是因,由果及因,是果因推理。
至此,目标已经很明确了,找other fact去削弱establishes salt as the culprit in high blood pressure就好了。
所以,D选项是一个other fact,其实是他果,而并不是他因。
