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 imortant 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..
(E). Many religious have imortant holidays in the spring and fall,
seasons with the lowest death rates for elderly people.

A很好理解阿，一个religious holiday来之前，老人都强撑着一口气要等holiday过完，所以，holiday快来，或者正在过的时候，老人死亡率低，因此证明了the will to live can prolong life 嘛！实际上不就是条件的一种改写嘛

嗯，后来再看了一遍解释明白了。其实不需要理解为什么holiday可以使老人prolong life 的愿望就可以解了。
