Q30:

Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

 

The irradiation of food kills bacteria and thus retards spoilage.  However, it also lowers the nutritional value of many foods.  For example, irradiation destroys a significant percentage of whatever vitamin B1 a food may contain.  Proponents of irradiation point out that irradiation is no worse in this respect than cooking.  However, this fact is either beside the point, since much irradiated food is eaten raw, or else misleading, since _______.

 

1. many of the proponents of irradiation are food distributors who gain from food’s having a longer shelf life
2. it is clear that killing bacteria that may be present on food is not the only effect that irradiation has
3. cooking is usually the final step in preparing food for consumption, whereas irradiation serves to ensure a longer shelf life for perishable foods
4. certain kinds of cooking are, in fact, even more destructive of vitamin B1 than carefully controlled irradiation is
5. for food that is both irradiated and cooked, the reduction of vitamin B1 associated with either process individually is compounded

这道题答案选E，可是我觉得C更好，因为题目说Fact是Misleading的，带有误导性的说Irradiation不比Cooking好，C的意思是Cooking 和Irradiation作用不同，既然作用不同，相比两个事物的好坏就有了误导性。我觉得合理。但是E的意思似乎没有什么关系。

大家的看法呢？
