189.
Studies have shown that elderly people who practice a religion are much more likely to die
immediately after an important religious holiday period than immediately before one.
Researchers have concluded that the will to live can prolong life, at least for short periods of
time.
Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the researchers’ conclusion?
(A) Elderly people who practice a religion are less likely to die immediately before or during an
important religious holiday than at any other time of the year.
(B) Elderly people who practice a religion appear to experience less anxiety at the prospect of
dying than do other people.
(C) Some elderly people who do practice a religion live much longer than most elderly people
who do not.
(D) Most elderly people who participate in religious holidays have different reasons for
participating than young people do.
(E) Many religions have important holidays in the spring and fall, seasons with the lowest
death rates for elderly people.
答案为A，我不明白A为何加强？E为何不对呢？
谢谢。
我一开始就觉得A是故意混淆视听,不像是正确答案. 跟楼主一样偏向于E. 但现在想到一点:题目中是讨论"religious people"何时更容易翘,而E中扩大了讨论范围:"elderly people"包括religious people 和 none religious people. 于是E中所述现象完全可以是由none religious people一方面造成的.这足以证明E是错误的了. 故只能选A |
