17. Psychologist: Some astrologers claim that our horoscopes completely determine our personalities, but this claim is false, I concede that identical twins---who are, of course, born at practically the same time---often do have similar personalities. However, birth records were examined to find two individuals who were born 40 years ago on the same day and at exactly the same time---one in a hospital in Toronto and one in a hospital in New York. Personalities of these two individuals are in fact different.
Which one of the following is an assumption on which the psychologist’s argument depends?
(A) Astrologers have not subjected their claims to rigorous experimentation.
(B) The personality differences between the two individuals cannot be explained by the cultural difference between Toronto and New York.
(C) The geographical difference between Toronto and New York did not result in the two individuals having different horoscopes.
(D) Complete birth records for the past 40 years were kept at both hospitals.
(E) Identical twins have identical genetic structures and usually have similar home environments.

Why isn't E the answer, please? by the way,  could identical twins be born in different cities??? thanks

同一时间但不同地点的星相是不同的

Psychologist 的结论：Some astrologers claim that our horoscopes

completely determine our personalities, but this claim is false
理由：出生在不同地方但同一时间的人的个性不同。
理由和结论间有一个Gap：星相家的观点中是”horoscopes “诞生时的星相，反

对的理由中是”出生日期“。存在这样的可能：同一时间但不同地点的星相是不

同的。C刚好是这个gap。
E is out of scope
  could identical twins be born in different cities与推理无关。
