请教OG12-45

45. Some anthropologists study modern-day societies of
foragers in an effort to learn about our ancient
ancestors who were also foragers. A flaw in this
strategy is that forager societies are extremely varied.
Indeed, any forager society with which anthropologists
are familiar has had considerable contact with
modern, non-forager societies.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the
criticism made above of the anthropologists’ strategy?

(A) All forager societies throughout history have had
a number of important features in common that
are absent from other types of societies.

(B) Most ancient forager societies either dissolved
or made a transition to another way of life.

(C) All anthropologists study one kind or another of
modern-day society.

(D) Many anthropologists who study modern-day
forager societies do not draw inferences about
ancient societies on the basis of their studies.

(E) Even those modern-day forager societies that
have not had significant contact with modern
societies are importantly different from ancient
forager societies.

看来看去,愣没弄明白到底在说啥。

我选A

我在做题的时候也不明白forager是什么东西,就把他当作某种生物吧

题目要求选项能够weaken对考古学家strategy的批评

而这个批评的观点是“forager societies are extremely varied.” 然后说indeed, blah blah blah。。。

B.  either dissolved or made a transition to another way of life: 表明了forager的社会是多样的,支持了批评的观点,不选
C. 提到考古学家研究modern-day society,不能weaken批评的观点,不选
D. 考古学家的strategy是研究现在了解过去,如果他们"do not draw inferences about ancient societies on the basis of their studies."那说明他们的stategy没用咯,不选
E. 说modern-day forager societies和ancient forager societies有很大的不同,支持了批评的观点

而A说到了forager societies有很多“features in common”,而这些相同之处又和其他societies有明显的区别。这证明了考古家的研究方法是有效的,所以自然是正确的答案咯。
