2. The teeth of some mammals show “growth rings” that result from the constant depositing of layers of cementum as opaque bands in summer and translucent bands in winter. Cross sections of pigs teeth found in an excavated Stone Age trash pit revealed bands of remarkably constant width except tat the band deposited last, which was invariably that the band deposited last, which was invariably translucent, was only about half the normal width.> >>>

The statements above most strongly support the conclusion that the animals died> >

(A) in an unusually early winter> >

(B) at roughly the same age> >

(C) roughly in midwinter

(D) in a natural catastrophe

(E) from starvation

说的是牙齿的沉淀物吧，冬天就是半透明的，夏天就是不透明的


接下来，找到了一头pig，呵呵，他的牙齿最后的一小段是 invariably translucent, was only about half the normal width


    


所以它当然就是死在roughly in midwinter> >


>答案应该是c吧>

translucent band是冬天长的，现在发现这个band的宽度只有正常的一半，那么它的死亡时间就该是mid winter（没来得及长完全）
