Each year red-winged blackbirds stop in a certain region of Midland
                        Province on their spring and fall migrations.  In the fall, they eat a significant portion of the province’s sunflower crop.  This year Midland farmers sought permits to set out small amounts of poisoned rice during the blackbirds’ spring stop in order to reduce the fall blackbird population.  Some residents voiced concern that the rice could threaten certain species of rare migratory birds.  Nevertheless, the wildlife agency approved the permits.

 

Which of the following, if true, most helps to justify the wildlife agency’s approval of the permits, given the concerns voiced by some residents?

 

1. In the region where the red-winged blackbirds stop, they are the first birds to be present in the spring.

2. The poison that farmers want to use does not kill birds but rather makes them incapable of producing viable eggs.

3. Since rice is not raised in Midland
                               Province, few species of birds native to the province normally eat rice.

4. Without the permit, any farmers shown to have set out poison for the blackbirds would be heavily fined.
5. The poison that farmers got approval to use has no taste or smell that would make it detectable by birds.

答案是a,我选择的是c，rare migratory birds是什么意思？我的理解应该类似于本地鸟（很少迁徙）

珍稀的迁徙鸟

两个形容词并列，同时修饰后面的名词。若是，副词+形容词+名词，则是副修饰形，形修饰名

我觉得c是不能够提供支持的，因为它只提到birds native to the province ，不代表rare migratory birds不吃poisoned rice。

A也不保证rare migratory birds不吃poisoned rice。

B是weaken

DWithout the permit与题目不相关

E是正确的。对于wildlife agency的立场只是希望poisoned rice不杀害任何wildlifes。读清楚题目比什么都重要，因为题目问的是关于wildlife agency‘proval
