Male bowerbirds construct elaborately decorated nests, or bowers. Basing their judgment on the fact that different local populations of bowerbirds of the same species build bowers that exhibit different building and decorative styles, researchers have concluded that the bowerbirds' building styles are a culturally acquired, rather than a genetically transmitted, trait.

Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the conclusion drawn by the researchers?

正确答案: B

[求助]og12-21题

 Male bowerbirds construct elaborately decorated nests, or bowers. Basing their judgment on the fact that different local populations of bowerbirds of the same species build bowers that exhibit different building and decorative styles, researchers have concluded that the bowerbirds’ building styles are a culturally acquired, rather than a genetically transmitted, trait.Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the conclusion drawn by the researchers?
(A) There are more common characteristics than there are differences among the bower-building styles of the local bowerbird population that has been studied most extensively.
(B) Young male bowerbirds are inept at bower-building and apparently spend years watching their elders before becoming accomplished in the local bower style.
(C) The bowers of one species of bowerbird lack the towers and ornamentation characteristic of the bowers of most other species of bowerbird.
(D) Bowerbirds are found only in New Guinea and Australia, where local populations of the birds apparently seldom have contact with one another.
(E) It is well known that the song dialects of some songbirds are learned rather than transmitted genetically.

OG关于E的解释是this statement provides an example of learned bird behavior, and so provides a little additional support for the conclusion, but not as much additional supports as does (B).

我想问的是文章不是关于build nest的嘛。E应该是无关的。为什么OG说是有一点支持呢?

类比呗,E的出现可以使得你顺着E的思路推出原文中的结论。但是类比毕竟没有深入到此逻辑推理过程本身,所以只能起辅助作用,关键的加强还要从其自身出发。希望我说的是正确的。呵呵

E说一些鸟的歌曲方言是学来的,而不是遗传来的。从思路上支持了,鸟是有能力可以通过学来获得某些知识的(songs dialect/ construct ability)

但是dialect和construct是不相关的。所以OG说了provides a little additional support

文中讨论的是同一品种在不同地域的建巢表现,这样不一样的表现得出的结论是建巢是文化而非遗传

C选项说的是不同品种,与原文不符

D选项并没有指出同一品种,无法加强或者削弱结论。
