第16题题干问Would be the best supported by those statements是归纳题，归纳题可以用无关词排除法，A中amateur violinists 文中没有提到，排除，B中supervise没有提到，C中several centuries错误的时间状语，E中everyone 文中没有提到，排除。请高手指点。fficeffice" />

17题中削弱题形，d答案中用了比较，文中根本就没有比较的概念。d错。e中的答案刚好削弱了原文的结论。同因异果。 16题归纳题的关键是不用关心文章的推倒结构，只抓文章的信息。e中说construct a violin that sounds better than the best-sounding existing violins 对于除了专业小提琴手外的所有人来说是可能的。题目中就没给过这样的信息。文中只提到Professional violinists are the only accepted judges of the sound quality of violins.所以e错。
