问题 单项选择题

1980年以来,缅因州水域的龙虾捕获量下降了20%,这可合理地归咎于1972年通过的保护港湾海豹的法案。缅因州的港湾海豹数量现在是开始加以保护前的水平的2倍,而我们知道这些海豹是吃鱼和龙虾的。
下面哪个,如果正确,会最严重地削弱以上的结论

A.港湾海豹通常更多地吃鱼而非龙虾,但海豹是鱼和龙虾的天然捕猎者。
B.虽然港湾海豹是有经验的龙虾捕猎者,它们很少把捕获物吃完。
C.港湾海豹吸引游客来缅因州的海湾地区,从而使当地经济重新充满活力。
D.1972年保护港湾海豹法案的作者相信,这种动物数量的增加不会给龙虾捕获量造成明显的负面作用。
E.20世纪70年代晚期龙虾创记录的捕获减少了大量可繁衍的成年龙虾数量。

答案

参考答案:E

解析:论证将“龙虾捕获量下降”归因于“海豹数量的增多”,选项E说明是由于“过去的捕获减少了大量可繁衍的成年龙虾数量”,属于他因削弱。
