一道莫名其妙的逻辑题～～

大家帮我看看这道题是不是有点问题啊？

Please help me resolve this question,thx.

Studies have shown that elderly people who practice a religion are much more likely to die immediately after an important religious holiday period than immediately before one．Researchers have concluded that the will to live can prolong life，at least for short periods of time．

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

(A)  Elderly people who practice a religion are less likely to die immediately before or during an important religious holiday than at any other time of the year.

(B) 
                    Elderly people who practice a religion appear to experience less anxiety at the prospect of dying than do other people．

(C)  Some elderly people who do practice a religion live much longer than most elderly  people who do not．

(D)  Most elderly people who participate in religious holidays have different reasons for participating than young people do．

那B错在哪里？

题目说 which one most strengthen  reseachers' conclusion, and they  concluded that  the will to live can prolong life, so I think the answer should be B, right?  people have no anxiety about dying means that they want  to live longer?

If I'm wrong, the point it must be.

But A also seems  correct, so I have no clue.

I think so, too, actually.

是我考虑的太复杂了 把自己给绕进去了 so  stupid!

3Q!

B实际上是无关选项，如果把B翻译成中文就是：那些参加宗教活动的老人比其他人更少对死亡产生焦虑。这和题中的结论：have concluded that the will to live can prolong life，是没关系的，因为anxiety并不是will。

另外，这题是从哪里找来的啊？

Argument Evaluation
Situation Using studies that show elderly people who practice a religion tend to die
immediately after, rather than immediately before，a major religious holiday, researchers conclude that the will to live Call prolong life，at least for a short period of time．
Reasoning What point strengthens the conclusion? The broader the scope of the research，the
stronger the conclusion．The researchers based their conclusion on a comparison of deaths
immediately before and after major religious holidays．What would happen if the comparison of
death rates were expanded to the entire year? If it is 1earned that the elderly who practice a
religion are 1ess likely to die before or during a major religious holiday t11an at any other time of year, the conclusion that they can prolong their fives temporarily through a specific holiday event is considerably strengthened．

A Correct．This statement properly identifies a point that strengthens the researchers’
conclusion．
B The conclusion is about whether the will to live can prolong life，not about attitudes
toward death，so this point is irrelevant．
C The conclusion is not about who lives longest in general，but about how the will to live
through a specific event can prolong life．
D A recognized difference in motivation between elderly and younger people does not
provide a direct reason to conclude that the elderly can will themselves to live through a holiday．
E The conclusion is about the ability to prolong life on a short—term basis through a
specific holiday, so more general seasonal information does not affect the conclusion．
The correct answer is A．
