1.        GWD-3-Q18:

Which of following most logically completes the argument?

 

The last members of a now-extinct species of a European wild deer called the giant dear lived in Ireland about 16,000 years ago.  Prehistoric cave paintings in France depict this animal as having a large hump on its back.  Fossils of this animal, however, do not show any hump.  Nevertheless, there is no reason to conclude that the cave paintings are therefore inaccurate in this regard, since ______.

 

1. some prehistoric cave paintings in France also depict other animals as having a hump

2. fossils of the giant deer are much more common in Ireland than in France

3. animal humps are composed of fatty tissue, which dose not fossilize

4. the cave paintings of the giant deer were painted well before 16,000 years ago

5. only one currently existing species of deer has any anatomical feature that even remotely resembles a hump

  为什么是C

说是脂肪组织不会变成化石，所以看到的壁画跟化石有出入，也不能说明什么。

谢谢  能不能翻译一下  我还是糊涂的

大概意思是说：在法国，一些壁画描绘这种巨鹿是有驼峰的，而挖掘出来的化石没有显示出这种鹿有驼峰，但是这也不能说明壁画是不准确的，

因为，动物的驼峰是由脂肪组织构成的，（脂肪组织）不会石化。
