The experiment was originally performed in "test-tube solutions", but is it still true in realities (in soil)? The answer D provides that it is still true in the soil (it render the mental inert in the soil, therefore make other plant survive)

原题:one of a group; it produces large amounts of histidine; renders these metals chemically inert 导致结论 the herb’s high histidine production is what allows it to grow in metal-rich soils
选项支持这个结论 当然要说 others in the group 也有同样的能力,所以在铁多土地里必须要具体吸收这些物质的能力。
Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
A certain cultivated herb is one of a group of closely related plants that thrive in soil with high concentrations of metals that are toxic to most other plants. Agronomists studying the herb have discovered that it produces large amounts of histidine, an amino acid that, in test-tube solutions, renders these metals chemically inert.  ossibly, therefore, the herb’s high histidine production is what allows it to grow in metal-rich soils, a hypothesis that would gain support if ______.
首先,这个填空题型分3种:MUST BE TRUE/MAIN POINT/ASSUMPTIONa hypothesis that would gain support if ______. 导致大家不知道选哪个的原因应该是清楚它到底问啥?
结论是: herb with high histidine-->grow in high metal soil 如果是assumption填补结论GAP 大家可能会选C C. others of the closely related group of plants are also found to produce histidine in large quantities 但这个怎么看怎么像无关呢,gmat不会饶太多弯,other related plants 和结论提出的这个herb 不是一个东西啊,明显是背景信息填词用的
再看 如果是must be true 是原文某句话(premise/conclusion)的重写或逆否命题或某几句话的结合 (paraphrase, repeat) herb have discovered that it produces large amounts of histidine, an amino acid that, in test-tube solutions, renders these metals chemically inert.  ossibly, therefore, the herb’s high histidine production is what allows it to grow in metal-rich soils, =herb 让metal 无用,所以 herb with high histidine-->grow in high metal soil
D. cultivation of the herb in soil with high concentrations of the metals will, over an extended period, make the soil suitable for plants to which the metals are toxic 第一句话说开始herb with high histidine thrive in soil with high concentrations of metals that are toxic to most other plants =metal soil-->toxic to most other plants-->other plants do not thrive soil suitable to other plants 不一定不toxic to other plants, 也许less toxic, 离题太远 D 说种herb with high histidine-->soil suitable for other plants 没有提到是不是herb with high histidine会让它自己grow in high metal soil
E. the concentration of histidine in the growing herb declines as the plant approaches maturity 因果正确herb with high histidine能在high metal soil里长 histidine少了,histidine不用长了
