OG-CR-122求助

ichloe

希望哪位NN帮忙解释下这题：
122. The spacing of the four holes on a fragment of a bone flute excavated at a Neanderland 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 diatonic 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.

正确答案是E。

谢谢啦

题目说在N发现的一个骨质长笛上有四个孔的间距，恰好就是可以用来演奏文艺复兴以后西方音乐里面全音阶的第三到六个音符。因此音乐学家就猜测说这种全音阶呢早在西方音乐家采用之前数千年就已经被发展和使用了。（翻得不太好，反正大意就这样）
文章问支持，也就是说这种全音阶的确在西方音乐家采用之前就已经存在了。用无关排除。
A选项说骨质长笛是N这种人唯一发明的乐器，与结论无关
B选项说没有其他相似的乐器是比文中提到的长笛要早，与结论无关
C选项说这个长笛是怎么制作的，与结论无关
D选项牵扯集合以外样本，讲的是长笛，文中结论实际上是由那个骨质长笛得出来的，因此与结论无关
E选项说这个骨头足够长，可以演奏全音阶的乐曲，正确
不知道对不对。

谢谢解答。但是我还是不大理解本题里面的逻辑关系>.<

The flute found could only play from the 3rd to the 6th note of the 7-note scale.  It is possible that this flute could ONLY play this 4 notes instead of the required 7 notes.  

Answer E claims that the flute, at least based on its original length, could play the full notes. In other words, E makes sure the bone from which the flute is made is possible to support the 7 holes required for the 7-note diatonic scale.
