Rabbits were introduced to Numa Island in the nineteenth century. Overgrazing by the enormous population of rabbits now menaces the island's agriculture. The government proposes to reduce the population by using a virus that has caused devastating epidemics in rabbit populations elsewhere. There is, however, a chance that the virus will infect the bilby, an endangered native marsupial. The government's plan, therefore, may serve the interests of agriculture but will clearly increase the threat to native wildlife.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

正确答案: C

Rabbits were introduced to Numa Island in the nineteenth century.  Overgrazing by the enormous population of rabbits now menaces the island’s agriculture.  The government proposes to reduce the population by using a virus that has caused devastating epidemics in rabbit populations elsewhere.  There is, however, a chance that the virus will infect the bilby, an endangered native marsupial.  The government’s plan, therefore, may serve the interests of agriculture but will clearly increase the threat to native wildlife.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

A.      There is less chance that the virus will infect domestic animals on Numa than that it will infect bilbies.

B.       There are no species of animals on the island that prey on the rabbits.

C.      Overgrazing by rabbits endangers many of the plants on which bilbies feed.

D.      The virus that the government proposes to use has been successfully used elsewhere to control populations of rabbits.

There is no alternative means of reducing the rabbit population that would involve no threat to the bilby.

答案选的是c, 但是结论是针对的是native wildlife而不是biby. 那不是无关了嘛?

“There is, however, a chance that the virus will infect the bilby, an endangered native marsupial.” 这里又说Bilby也是native widlife。

以下是引用lawrence0707在2008-11-13 21:17:00的发言:

你的问题时扣了词,没抓整体意思,仔细理解就明白了。

I think that the answer should be C since the conclusion of this argument is that

"The government’s plan, therefore, may serve the interests of agriculture but will clearly increase the threat to native wildlife ".

 However,in answer c,the virus will reduce the population of the rabbits. The decreasing popular of rabbits would have decrease the overgrazing that endangers many of the plants on which bilbies feed. Therefore, the virus might serve the interest of native wildlife,too. In this situation, the conclusion of this argument might be problematic.

This is my reason to support answer "C".

Can someone explain why A is better than C ?
