大全上的一道题

In a study of the effect of color on productivity, 50 of 100 factory workers were moved from their drab workroom to a brightly colored workroom. Both these workers and the 50 who remained in the drab workroom increased their productivity, probably as a result of the interest taken by researchers in the work of both groups during the study.

Which of the following, if true, would cast most doubt upon the author’s interpretation of the study results given above?

(A) The 50 workers moved to the brightly colored room performed precisely the same manufacturing task as the workers who remained in the drab workroom.
(B) The drab workroom was designed to provide adequate space for at most 65 workers.
(C) The 50 workers who moved to the brightly colored workroom were matched as closely as possible in age and level of training to the 50 workers who remained in the drab work-room.
(D) Nearly all the workers in both groups had volunteered to move to the brightly colored workroom.
(E) Many of the workers who moved to the brightly colored workroom reported that they liked the drab workroom as well as or better than they liked the brightly colored workroom.

OA：B

很想问一下第二句的后半句怎么翻译呀？

probably as a result of the interest taken by researchers in the work of both groups during the study.

这句话，是解释为什么两边效率都高了。然后题目给的解释是研究者take interest，意思是研究者“兴趣”的实验，是原因？这是什么鬼。
这个结论的反驳，感觉漏洞会很多啊。没太看明白

一开始100个工人都在单调工房工作，后来把50人抽出在新的好工房工作，留下50人，结果两个工房生产力工人都提高了。工人还是原来的工人，一个工房里人少了，一个工房条件好了。当然不能说是研究者误差了。而是原来单调工房设计标准就是65人，装那么多人条件差，工作效率肯定低。

我第一遍读的时候也很纳闷，哪有这样做结论的阿？

正过来读就是 researchers took interest in the work of both groups during the study, resulting increased productivity

作者的态度就是researchers瞎搞些没用的实验。

增加的生产力是研究者在研究时根据偏好解释的结果。

谢谢晓蓉，
听起来好像是研究人员主观的判断。不明白这句话的用意。
出题人想说明什么呢？？
