Q11:

Some species of Arctic birds are threatened by recent sharp increases in the population of snow geese, which breed in the LACE>ArcticLACE> and are displacing birds of less vigorous species. Although snow geese are a popular quarry for hunters in the southern regions where they winter, the hunting season ends if and when hunting has reduced the population by five percent, according to official estimates. Clearly, dropping this restriction would allow the other species to recover.

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

1. Hunting limits for snow geese were imposed many years ago in response to a sharp decline in the population of snow geese.
2. It has been many years since the restriction led to the hunting season for snow geese being closed earlier than the scheduled date.

3. The number of snow geese taken by hunters each year has grown every year for several years.
4. As their population has increased, snow geese have recolonized wintering grounds that they had not used for several seasons.
5. In the snow goose’s winter habitats, the goose faces no significant natural predation.

答案是B 不太理解答案的意思.请NN指教

感觉B是不对的，其它的也都不好，估计是道测试题吧。呵呵。

真要选一个的话，我会选C。

象这种不明确的题，建议不要花太多的时间在上面。
