OG 11 CR中唯一一道让我觉得答案不convincing的题,大家讨论一下吧

答案选D,Successor cultures at a given site often adopt the style of agricultural implements used by earlier inhabitants of the same site.

可是题目中明明已经说了Moreover, the implements' designs are strikingly different from the designs of stone implements produced by other cultures known to have inhabited the area in prehistoric times.也就是说这种石质农具跟其他文明完全不同,那么这个农具只可能是玛雅人造的,那么这个题目的推理其实是无懈可击的。

不知道我的理解miss了那些重要点,请NN指点

122. The earliest Mayan pottery found at Colha, in Belize, is about 3,000 years old. Recently, however, 4,500-year-old stone agricultural implements were unearthed at Colha. These implements resemble Mayan stone implements of a much later period, also found at Colha. Moreover, the implements' designs are strikingly different from the designs of stone implements produced by other cultures known to have inhabited the area in prehistoric times. Therefore, there were surely Mayan settlements in Colha 4,500 years ago.


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


(A) Ceramic ware is not known to have been used by the Mayan people to make agricultural implements.
(B) Carbon dating of corn pollen in Colha indicates that agriculture began there around 4,500 years ago.
(C) Archaeological evidence indicates that some of the oldest stone implements found at Colha were used to cut away vegetation after controlled burning of trees to open areas of swampland for cultivation.
(D) Successor cultures at a given site often adopt the style of agricultural implements used by earlier inhabitants of the same site.
(E) Many religious and social institutions of the Mayan people who inhabited Colha 3,000 years ago relied on a highly developed system of agricultural symbols.

D实际是说玛雅人模仿了早期文明的农业用具。则削弱了原文。

文章的结论之所以得出玛雅人早在4500年前便在那里定居,只是因为发现的4500年前的农具与玛雅人用的农具相同,而与其他文明的农具明显不同。推理的缺陷是:如果后面的文明只是延续使用前面的文明所发明的农具,那么便不能只由“农具相同”推出“前面的文明也是玛雅文明”,故D选项削弱了结论。
