VERBAL REVIEW-59-選項A解釋

TerraceHo

【VR-59】
Boreal owls range over a much larger area than do other owls of similar size. The reason for this behavior is probably that the small mammals on which owls feed are especially scarce in the forests where boreal owls live, and the relative scarcity of prey requires the
owls to range more extensively to find sufficient food.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to confirm the explanation above?
(A) Some boreal owls range over an area eight times larger than the area over which any other owl of similar size ranges.
(B) Boreal owls range over larger areas in regions where food of the sort eaten by small mammals is sparse than they do in regions where such food is abundant.
(C) After their young hatch, boreal owls must hunt more often than before in order to feed both themselves and their newly hatched young.
(D) Sometimes individual boreal owls hunt near a single location for many weeks at a time and do not range farther than a few hundred yards.
(E) The boreal owl requires less food, relative to its weight, than is required by members of other owl species.

對於A的解釋：the comparison between different groups of boreal owls is not relevant to the comparison between boreal owls and other owls.
請問：上面的意思是A比較的雙方跟題目stimulus第一句的比較雙方不同嗎？難道是other跟any other用法區別？
謝謝大家啦!

题目问的是：进一步确认“explanation”的证据
题目中你划线的是一个现象，后面的The reason就是explanation
所以选项应该是跟这个explanation相关，强化该explanation的。
A项强化的是你划线的现象（或是对此现象举一个例子），跟explanation没有什么关系。
答案是B
OG对这道题没解释到点子上，无视它吧。
