GWD 1-Q17为什么选E呢？想不明白。为什么会出现cave-bear leg bone的呢？

GWD1-Q17:
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.

挖出来的碎片上有4个洞洞，从第三到第六。

西方文艺复兴时用的是7个洞洞的。

结论说，在西方文艺复兴之前，就有人用7个洞洞了。

问支持。

就要证明那个碎片只是一部分，还有3个洞洞，也就说骨头要足够长，还可以再抠出3个洞洞，至于有没有就不管了，骨头长已经能够支持论据了
