The ancient Nubians inhabited an area in which typhus occurs, yet surprisingly few of their skeletons show the usual evidence of this disease.The skeletons do show deposits of tetracycline, an antibiotic produced by a bacterium common in Nubian soil.This bacterium can flourish on the dried grain used for making two staples of the Nubian diet, beer and bread.Thus, tetracycline in their food probably explains the low incidence of typhus among ancient Nubians.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument relies?
A.Infectious diseases other than typhus to which the ancient Nubians were exposed are unaffected by tetracycline.
B.Tetracycline is not rendered ineffective as an antibiotic by exposure to the processes involved in making bread and beer.
C.Typhus cannot be transmitted by ingesting bread or beer contaminated with the infectious agents of this disease.
D.Bread and beer were the only items in the diet of the ancient Nubians which could have contained tetracycline.
B.Tetracycline is not rendered ineffective as an antibiotic by exposure to the processes involved in making bread and beer.把它取非， 就是说，T在making bread and beer的过程中是INEFFECTIVE的，其实这个不重要，重要的是治疗T病的时候是不是effective. 所以选C.
C的意思是必须保证在面包喝啤酒不会被带有T病毒的东西污染。因为T病毒本身是不存在在食物之中的。
