Which of the following most logically completes the argument below?

Although the number of large artificial satellites orbiting the Earth is small compared to the number of small pieces of debris in orbit, the large satellites interfere more seriously with telescope observations because of the strong reflections they produce. Because many of those large satellites have ceased to function, the proposal has recently been made to eliminate interference from nonfunctioning satellites by exploding them in space. This proposal, however, is ill conceived, since _______.

正确答案: E

先给个原题:Which of the following most logically completes the argument below?

Although the number of large artificial satellites orbiting the Earth is small compared to the number of small pieces of debris in orbit, the large satellites interfere more seriously with telescope observations because of the strong reflections they produce. Because many of those large satellites have ceased to function, the proposal has recently been made to eliminate interference from nonfunctioning satellites by exploding them in space. This proposal, however, is ill conceived, since _______.
A many nonfunctioning satellites remain in orbit for years
B for satellites that have ceased to function, repairing them while they are in orbit would be prohibitively expensive
C there are no known previous instances of satellites' having been exploded on purpose
D the only way to make telescope observations without any interference from debris in orbit is to use telescopes launched into extremely high orbits around the Earth
E a greatly increased number of small particles in Earth's orbit would result in a blanket of reflections that would make certain valuable telescope observations impossible


我这题第一次做的时候,看到了D就选了D,没有看E,然后我事后就在想是什么原因导致我看到D就觉得是正确选项,我想了几个问题向大家请教。

(1)看一下D选项
D the only way to make telescope observations without any interference from debris in orbit is to use telescopes launched into extremely high orbits around the Earth
一般来说看到这些这么绝对的词要格外注意,但是我觉得吧,因为题目是给解释的题目,所以这些选项应该都是默认正确的是吧,至少不应该因为有only 或者 any这样的词就被作为批判的理由对吧。
(2)如果用D去回答问题,为什么文中说的方案ill conceived。我觉得既然The only way to。。。。without any interference(这里还有问题之后讨论),那么自然,在默认选项不存在除逻辑外的任何自然科学因素,其他所有的方案都是ill conceived,都是浪费时间浪费金钱的做法,因为only way已经给出了。
(3)所以我觉得这道题的关键一下就变成了without any interference上了,我知道这是值得批判的一点,但是文中说的是to eliminate interference,字面理解为消除干扰,既然是消除干扰,为此我查了有道上的那个柯林斯英汉双解,他给出的解释是:V-T To eliminate something, especially sth you do not want or need, means to remove it completely.注意这个COMPLETELY(只参考了这个字典,不严谨,但是我觉得做GMAT也不该这儿咬文嚼字),虽然我当时做题的时候不可能这样去查字典,但我还是下意识的觉得eliminate interference的结果和一个without any interference的状态是可以对等的。

我承认我是想多了,而且我看了E以后觉得E也不错,但还是有这个问题让我不舒服,我考试的时候会去选E,但是平时做题还是探究多一点吧,请各位大牛小牛和我探讨一下吧,欢迎各种抽脸,各种批判

首先你要看清楚这个proposal是干什么。它不是elimilate所有的reflection,而是有限定的:那些没用了的sateline的。所以D是无关的。
