逻辑不好。。问道经典的。。发在此了。。打扰大家

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?

1. Bone flutes were probably the only musical instrument made by Neanderthals.
   
   
   
2. 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.
   
   
   
3. 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.
   
   
   
4. Flutes are the simplest wind instrument that can be constructed to allow playing a diatonic scale.
   
   
   

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.

我自己顶一下。。。谁帮帮我

选最后一个吧！说发现了一个骨头做的长笛，上面有4个洞，正好对应一个什么scale的3~6这4个notes，然后就猜测说这个scale早就被发明了~
E：说这个长笛拥有能够容下完整scale的长度。加强！因为，当前的发现只是说上面有4个洞，对应了3~6四个音阶，但是真正完整的scale其实是7个音阶的，你要说这个长笛是使用这个scale的证据。现在E说他足够长，完全能够容下7个完整的音阶~那么科学家的假设就更有可能成立了！

填补GAP：四个洞是因为残缺了，本身就是七个洞的一部分

是不是选择E， 把答案加上Not，一看是weaken结论了

E...

急得好像是OG11上面的题目啊 选E确定 其他选项完全无关 只有D选项有点关系 但是Flutes are the simplest wind instrument 这部分的the simplest看起来就不好，这是通过有关无关排除。逻辑思路就像3楼说的一样，很清楚。

OG12上也有 答案是E

其实我还是没明白 。。死活弄不懂。。。再通俗点解释一下。。谢谢大家们

就是说你现在说这根长笛的发现可以证明在那个时期已经使用了完整的7音阶。但是现在长笛是残缺的，只有4个音阶，你要说他是用7音阶的，那么是必要要证明至少他够长，容得下7个洞，不然这个假设就不会成立了！E就不上了这个逻辑漏洞！
