68. A drug that is highly effective in treating many types of infection can, at present, be obtained only from the bark of the ibora, a tree that is quite rare in the wild. It takes the bark of 5,000 tree to make one kilogram of the drug. It follows, therefore, that continued production of the drug must inevitably lead to the ibora’s extinction. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above? (A) The drug made from ibora bark is dispensed to doctors from a central authority. (B) The drug made from ibora bark is expensive to produce. (C) The leaves of the ibora are used in a number of medical products. (D) The ibora can be propagated from cuttings and grown under cultivation. (E) The ibora generally grows in largely inaccessible places.
key: D
看了og得解释,我能明白为什么选D.
但是不能完全信服og对于E得解释:if the ibroa is largely inacessable, this bears on the question whether production of the drug could continue, not on what would happened if it did continue.
我的思路是:continued production of the drug不能lead to the ibora’s extinction. 因为The ibora generally grows in largely inaccessible places.即使 production of the drug到最后用完了acessable ibora, 因为还有一些他们触及不到。
这不是也weaken了吗?
