Questions 55-56

The simple facts are these: the number of people killed each year by bears is about the same as the number of people killed by lightning of golf courses. And the number of people killed by lightning on golf courses each year is about the same as the number of people electrocuted by electric blenders. All the horrible myths and gruesome stories aside, therefore a grizzly bear is in fact about as dangerous as an electric blender or a game of golf.

56. Which one of the following, if true, would most effectively undermine the author’s argument?

(A) Although the number of people killed by lightning on golf courses each year is very small, the total number of lightning fatalities is many times greater.

(B) Electric blenders are among the safest housed hold appliances; were the author to compare fatalities from electrical appliances in general, she would get a much higher figure.

(C) Most people would rather take their chances with benders and golf games than with grizzly bears.

(D) Bears in general---including black, brown, and cinnamon bears, as well as grizzly bears---kill many more people than do electric blenders.

(E) Statistics show that the number of times people use electric blenders each year exceeds the number of times people play golf each year, which in turn far exceeds the number of contacts people have with grizzly bears each year.

答案是E，但我觉得E本身也需要一个对dangerous的定义，但题目和选项里都没有给出，这样的答案能选么？

另外关于D选项，我被题目里bear，grizzly bear还有其他的bear彻底搞晕了，题目中的bear和选项中的bear难道还有不同的代表范围？

多谢！

D 不管怎么样都是加强，而不是削弱结论。 

E对了应该就在于它指出了什么是Dangerous。 譬如过马路1万次出一次车祸。 而遇见狗熊一次就死翘翘了。 虽然每年死于车祸的人数远多于被狗熊吃掉的人。我们能说过马路更危险么？
