忘了粘题上来了...
Excavation of the ancient city of Kourion on the island of Cyprus revealed a pattern of debris and collapsed buildings typical of towns devastated by earthquakes. Archaeologists have hypothesized that the destruction was due to a major earthquake known to have occurred near the island in A.D. 365.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the archaeologists' hypothesis?

(A) Bronze ceremonial vessels that are often found in graves dating from years preceding and following A.D. 365 were also found in several graves near Kourion.
(B) No coins minted after A.D. 365 were found in Kourion, but coins minted before that year were found in abundance.
(C) Most modern histories of Cyprus mention that an earthquake occurred near the island in A.D. 365.
(D) Several small statues carved in styles current in Cyprus in the century between A.D. 300 and A.D. 400 were found in Kourion.
(E) Stone inscriptions in a form of the Greek alphabet that was definitely used in Cyprus after A.D. 365 were found in Kourion

OG对(C)的解释是 The occurrence of the earthquake is not in question; this statement simply confirms a fact already assumed in the argument.

加强假设为什么是不可以的呢？谢谢

Re-state the premise is USELESS to make the argument stronger since you are just repeating yourself.

The difference between repeating and supporting is like between an echo and the same voice coming from a high-powered speaker.

那如果借用 high-powered speaker 的说法的话岂不是又犯了诉诸权威的错误？

LS, you did not get the analogy . . .

Echo is the same vibration coming for a second time while the voice through a speaker is AMPLIFIED or STRENGTHENED.
