后天下午考试!!

请教一道逻辑题 ,GWD里的, 不明白为什么选E !后天就考试了!请大家帮忙!谢谢!

The spacing of the four holes on a fragment of a bone flute excavated at a Neanderthal campsite is just what is required to play the third through sixth notes of the diatonic scale—the seven-note musical scale used in much of Western music since the Renaissance.  Musicologists therefore hypothesize that the diatonic musical scale was developed and used thousands of years before it was adopted by Western musicians.



Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the hypothesis?



A.      Bone flutes were probably the only musical instrument made by Neanderthals.

B.      No musical instrument that is known to have used a diatomic scale is of an earlier date than the flute found at the Neanderthal campsite.

C.      The flute was made from a cave-bear bone and the campsite at which the flute fragment was excavated was in a cave that also contained skeletal remains of cave bears.

D.     Flutes are the simplest wind instrument that can be constructed to allow playing a diatonic scale.

E.      The cave-bear leg bone used to make the Neanderthal flute would have been long enough to make a flute capable of playing a complete diatonic scale.

E 错选B

B当然不对啦。题目结论说音乐学家假定发现的这个东东可以做一种乐器的一部分，后者比Western music since the Renaissance要早一千年，问support。 而B说的是没有比这个这个东东更早的了，这个完全不相干嘛。E是说这个东东确实可以做成这个乐器。

我还是不太明白

哪位好心人再帮我详细解释一下啊

主要是看不懂题目和选项在说什么

从Neanderthal这个地方发掘出来了骨质长笛的碎片。。这个碎片上四个孔的距离正好就是要演奏出全音阶的第三至第六个音符所需要的。。破折号下面那句解释全音阶，全音阶就是文艺复兴之后，在西方音乐中经常被使用的七音符的音乐表示法。。音乐理论家由这个考古发现推测，全音阶在几千年前就已经出现
题目问什么能加强这个推测
由于考古发现的这个残片只有第三到第六个音符的孔，E选项说用的这个骨头的长度是可以做到包含全音阶的，加强，弥补了题目的不足
分析完了，累死了，希望有所帮助，另祝楼主后天取得好成绩
