Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
A certain cultivated herb is one of a group of closely related plants that thrive in soil with high concentrations of metals that are toxic to most other plants. Agronomists studying the herb have discovered that it produces large amounts of histidine, an amino acid that, in test-tube solutions, renders these metals chemically inert. Possibly, therefore, the herb’s high histidine production is what allows it to grow in metal-rich soils, a hypothesis that would gain support if ______. - histidine is found in all parts of the plant—roots, stem, leaves,
and flowers - the herb’s high level of histidine production is found to be
associated with an unusually low level of production of other amino acids - others of the closely related group of plants are also found to
produce histidine in large quantities - cultivation of
the herb in soil with high concentrations of the metals will, over an extended period, make the soil suitable for plants to which the metals are toxic - the concentration of histidine in the growing herb declines as the plant
approaches maturity
答案是e,可我认为d对。正是histidine使得土壤中的铁无法起作用,所以经过一段时间的分泌,herb就会使土壤中有很高含量的histidine,使得其他植物也可以健康生长在这种有histidine保护的含铁土壤中
另外,顺便问一下这道题:答案为c. nn 们能给我讲讲e是啥意思,以及为什么不对吗?Q7: In 1960’s studies of rats, scientists found that crowding increases the number of attacks among the animals significantly. But in recent experiments in which rhesus monkeys were placed in crowded conditions, although there was an increase in instances of “coping” behavior—such as submissive gestures and avoidance of dominant individuals—attacks did not become any more frequent. Therefore it is not likely that, for any species of monkey, crowding increases aggression as significantly as was seen in rats. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument? - All the observed forms of coping behavior can be found among
rhesus monkeys living in uncrowded conditions. - In the studies of rats, nondominant individuals were found to
increasingly avoid dominant individuals when the animals were in crowded conditions. - Rhesus monkeys respond with aggression to a wider range of stimuli than
any other monkeys do. - Some individual monkeys in the experiment were involved in
significantly more attacks than the other monkeys were. - Some of the coping behavior displayed by rhesus monkeys is similar to
behavior rhesus monkeys use to bring to an end an attack that has begun.
