Q40:
Mice that have been given morphine are very likely to develop blood poisoning because bacteria that normally reside in the intestine typically respond to morphine by migrating into the bloodstream. However, when mice are given both morphine and the new drug naltrexone, blood poisoning is much less frequent, although it does still occur. These results provide support for researchers’ prediction that naltrexone will turn out to be toxic to certain types of bacteria.
Which of the following, if discovered to be true, would most seriously weaken the support for the researchers’ prediction?
Conditions other than the presence of intestinal bacteria in the bloodstream can cause blood poisoning in mice.
答案B,我选E 请教
B is the best answer to weaken the support of the researchers' prediction that naltrexone will turn out to be toxic to certain types of bacteria, for the decrease frequent of blood poisoning is not because of the inhibits of bacteria themselves(toxic to them) but of the migration of intestinal bacteria into the bloodstream.
while in E, there is even no mention of naltrexone which is the central idea of the researchers' prediction.
