The best answer is B. All that the passage reveals about Jarvis’ work is that it suggested that

“differences in growth rates may influence the length of time that an individual performs a task, regardless of its age” (lines 29-31). Thus, in Jarvis’ view, age may not be a crucial variable in explaining what naked mole rats do.

建议MM多看看OG的解释，把自己的思路往ETS方向靠。

166. One function of the third paragraph of the passage is to

(A) state a conclusion about facts presented in an earlier paragraph

(B) introduce information that is contradicted by information in the fourth paragraph

(C) qualify the extent to which two previously mentioned groups might be similar

(D) show the chain of reasoning that led to the conclusions of a specific study

(E) demonstrate that, of three explanatory factors offered, two may be of equal significance

C中的qualify应该怎么解释???限定吗?   限定先前两组生物之间的相似性的广度??? confusing~~~~ 请NN指教

文章结构：总分

第一段，总的观点．主题句在第一段，第一题

第二段，与eusocial insects 相同的地方 like...,第四题

第三段，与eusocial insects 不同的地方,第二题，第三题，第七题，

第四段，与most cooperatively breeding vertebrates 不同的地方,第五题，第六题

第一段说无毛鼹鼠是脊椎动物中最类似社会性昆虫的，所以就必然有最重要的一样的地方（第一段，肯定先说一样的地方，不能先说不一样的地方吧？），第三段说有不同的地方，其实是说尽管有些地方不同，还共有的有相同之处．(就是要进一步限定/明确无毛鼹鼠和社会性昆虫在那些方面相同,那些不同-就是本段的作用)

第四段是其它的脊椎动物相比．当然要比了，跟其它脊椎动物也不一样．
