5.       Psychological research indicates that college hockey and football players are more quickly moved to hostility and aggression than are college athletes in noncontact sports such as swimming. But the researchers’ conclusion—that contact sports encourage and teach participants to be hostile and aggressive—is untenable. The football and hockey players were probably more hostile and aggressive to start with than the swimmers.

Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the conclusion drawn by the psychological researchers?

(A) The football and hockey players became more hostile and aggressive during the season and remained so during the off-season, whereas there was no increase in aggressiveness among the swimmers.

(B) The football and hockey players, but not the swimmers, were aware at the start of the experiment that they were being tested for aggressiveness.

(C) The same psychological research indicated that the football and hockey players had a great respect for cooperation and team play, whereas the swimmers were most concerned with excelling as individual competitors.

(D) The research studies were designed to include no college athletes who participated in both contact and noncontact sports.

(E) Throughout the United States, more incidents of fan violence occur at baseball games than occur at hockey or football games

题目说加强football&hokey players在开始的时候就比swimmers更加aggressive

答案是a,我怎么觉得是削弱，是支持文章中要反对的结论，说football&hokey的training让使他们更加aggressive.

Conclusion of the researcher:contact sports encourage aggressiveness
Question: strengthening

robertchu,题目说contact soprts encourage aggressivess是untenable的，这个不是结论啊。

结论是The football and hockey players were probably more hostile and aggressive to start with than the swimmers

需要strengthening的是这句啊。我觉得A是加强了contact sports encourage aggressive，但是削弱了题目中的结论。

我理解的有问题吗？

谢谢，错的竟然不是逻辑，而是把题目完全看错了

汗，我也看错了，还阴差阳错选对了。。。

A) The football and hockey players became more hostile and aggressive during the season and remained so during the off-season, whereas there was no increase in aggressiveness among the swimmers.

这里remained so是什么意思？是说非赛季仍然became more hostile and aggressive ？还是说保持之前上升到的那个水平？

如果A是正确答案，貌似应该是后一种。但我怎么觉得从语法上看更像前一个的意思？

The football and hockey players became more hostile and aggressive during the season and remained so ...

players became more....and remained so.....

这里became 和 remained 并列, so 后面省去了adj: hostile and aggressive.

个人意见,请大牛们指教.
