prep 07有一道逻辑题想不通，跪求NN解答

杯杯么么哒

An unusually severe winter occurred in Europe after the continent was blanketed by a blue haze resulting from the eruption of the Laki Volcano in the European republic of Iceland in the summer of 1984.  Thus, it is evident that major eruptions cause the atmosphere to become cooler than it would be otherwise.

Which of the following statements, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above?

(A) The cooling effect triggered by volcanic eruptions in 1985 was counteracted by an unusual warming of Pacific waters.

(B) There is a strong statistical link between volcanic eruptions and the severity of the rainy season in India.

(C) A few months after El Chichn's large eruption in April 1982, air temperatures throughout the region remained higher than expected, given the long-term weather trends.

(D) The climatic effects of major volcanic eruptions can temporarily mask the general warming trend resulting from an excess of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

(E) Three months after an early springtime eruption in South America during the late 19th century, sea surface temperatures near the coast began to fall.
此题我纠结的是C、D 两个选项，总觉得两者都有不妥之处，但是比较之后选的D 但是答案给的C。个人觉得C 存在明显缺陷啊，是a few months 之后，不能草率推断气温变化跟eruption有关，因为之间存在很多别的因素的影响，求NN 解答为什么C 比D强

D肯定不对啊   weaken的错误选项有三种：1：无关 2：支持 3：相对弱的weaken  D 属于支持 说可以mask warming 不就导致比以前要冷 所以错了    C中 不要纠结单词 要抓住整体句意 文章 前提：eruption-haze-winter  结论：eruption-winter  C说明了 因果关系无效 因为C说明了eruption 也可以导致 warming 从而削弱 原文的因果关系
