A common defense of sport hunting is that it serves a vital wildlife-management function, without which countless animals would succumb to starvation and disease. This defense leads to the overly hasty conclusion that sport hunting produces a healthier population of animals.
Which of the following, if true, best supports the author’s claim that sport hunting does not necessarily produce a healthier population of animals
A．For many economically depressed families, hunting helps keep food on the table.
B．Wildlife species encroach on farm crops when other food supplies become scarce.
C．Overpopulation of a species causes both p and weak animals to suffer.
D．Sport hunters tend to pursue the biggest and healthiest animals in a population.
E．(E) Many people have p moral objections to killing a creature for any reason other than self-defense.
参考答案：D
解析： 本题问题目的非常清晰，我们可以用问题目的中的关键词：“Sports hunting”来定位选项，涉及这一关键词的只有(D)，又根据要支持的内容：关键词是否产生了一个更为healthy的动物群体，发现也只有(D)说明了这一点，所以(D)正确。(A)、(B)、(C)、(E)均不能在一个逻辑层面上对问题目的起到支持作用，所以不对。
