GMAT&LSAT CR Test C-12th

12.   Which of the following best completes the passage below?

Monarch butterflies, whose average life span is nine months, migrate from the midwestern United States to selected forests outside Mexico City. It takes at least three generations of monarchs to make the journey, so the great-great-grandchildren who finally arrive in the Mexican forests have never been there before. Yet they return to the same trees their forebears left. Scientists theorize that monarchs, like homing pigeons, map their routes according to the earth’s electromagnetic fields. As a first step in testing this theory, lepidopterists plan to install a low-voltage transmitter inside one grove of “butterfly trees” in the Mexican forests. If the butterflies are either especially attracted to the grove with the transmitter or especially repelled by it, lepidopterists will have evidence that______

(A) monarch butterflies have brains, however minuscule

(B) monarch butterflies are sensitive to electricity

(C) low-voltage electricity can affect butterflies, whether positively or adversely

(D) monarchs map their routes according to the earth’s electromagnetic fieldsB

(E) monarchs communicate in intergenerationally via electromagnetic fields

答案:B。请问下C为什么不对呢?似乎C选项是B选项的子集,B对C更应该正确啊?

C得主句在whether positively or adversely,因此,原句就成了,evidence that whether low-voltage electricity can affect butterflies positively or adversely

再者,需要证明的是butterfly是否能够用电流导航,而不是电流是否能影响butterfly。重点颠倒。

谢谢楼上的解答,我理解这道题了,C虽然是证实出来的东西,但是和题目要证明的hypothesis的主题有偏差,不仅重点颠倒,而且还多了个whether positively or adversely(不管是正向影响还是反向影响),这个不是lepidopterists考虑的问题和角度。
