Journalist: In physics journals, the number of articles reporting the results of experiments involving particle accelerators was lower last year than it had been in previous years. Several of the particle accelerators at major research institutions were out of service the year before last for repairs, so it is likely that the low number of articles was due to the decline in availability of particle accelerators.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the journalist's argument?
(A) Every article based on experiments with particle accelerators that was submitted for publication last year actually was published.
(B) The average time scientists must wait for access to a particle accelerator has declined over the last several years.
D. Particle accelerators can be used for more than one group of experiments in any given year
E. Recent changes in the editorial policies of several phsics journals have decreased the likelihood that articles concerning particle- accelerator research will be accepted for publication
Every article based on experiments with particle accelerators that was submitted for publication last year actually was published. 每一个提交给报社的基于粒子加速器的实验文章去年都发表了。都发表了,但是跟前年的比较没有出现啊,说明不了是别的原因造成 low number of articles 。 文中说因为粒子加速器坏了,所以文章发表的少了,你需要削弱他的argument,就要找出别的原因。正确选项说是因为出版政策变化,造成这些文章的减少,不是刚好说明不是因为粒子加速器的原因么
