Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

When people engage in activities that help others ,their brain releases endorphins, the brain's natural opiates, which induce in people a feeling of well-being. It has been suggested that regular release of endorphins increases people's longevity. And a statistic on adults who regularly engage in volunteer work helping others shows that they live longer, on average, than adults who do not volunteer. However, that statistic would be what we would expect even if volunteering does not boost longevity, because____________.

A提供一个他因,说的是 在调查的志愿者中,大部分是女性,女性寿命本来就比较长。(与原文所述的 参加 volunteering激发endorphins,是人们长寿没有关系)

也就是说,调查者 之所以长寿 和 volunteering没有关系的,是因为志愿者作为女性本来寿命就长。 也就是 volunteering不一定是人们长寿。

C倒是很tricky的选项,不过仔细想想,即使人们得了 其他的disease,也不影响他们通过参加volunteering来提高自己的寿命。

也就是说,C成不成立,都和判断volunteering是否可以帮助 增加寿命的无关,不能为 volunteering不帮助人们增加寿命提供他因。

所以C是out of scope的。

in the communities studied, women were much more likely to do regular volunteer work than men were, and women tend to live longer than men do

这句话应该是表达我所说的意思,你注意看划线句时态是一般现在时,而且 连词用and。

划线句应该只是陈述一个事实,而不是 前半句的结果。
