Most of the world's supply of uranium currently comes from mines. It is possible to extract uranium from seawater, but the cost of doing so is greater than the price that uranium fetches on the world market. Therefore, until the cost of extracting uranium from seawater can somehow be reduced, this method of obtaining uranium is unlikely to be commercially viable. Which of the following would it be most useful to determine in evaluating the argument? A.Whether the uranium in deposits on land is rapidly being depleted B.Whether most uranium is used near where it is mined C.Whether there are any technological advances that show promise of reducing the cost of extracting uranium from seawater D.Whether the total amount of uranium in seawater is significantly greater than the total amount of uranium on land E.Whether uranium can be extracted from freshwater at a cost similar to the cost of extracting it from seawater

In late 1997, the chambers inside the pyramid of the Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza were closed to visitors for cleaning and repair due to moisture exhaled bv tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the stone was crystallizing and fungus was growing on the walls. (A) due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the stone was crystallizing (B) due to moisture that tourists had exhaled, thereby raising its humidity to such levels that salt from the stone would crystallize (C) because tourists were exhaling moisture, which had raised the humidity within them to levels such that salt from the stone would crystallize (D) because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity within them to levels so high as to make the salt from the stone crystallize (E) because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised the humidity within them to such levels that salt from the stone was crystallizing 这题OG的解释： 为什么 them 在 D选项 中是指代tourists ，但是在 E选项 中them又是正确地指代了chambers？

这道题正确答案是 B， 我一直觉得是D, 不是特别明白 B 答案为什么 说as effectively as sea snakes can? One such adaptation is the closer proximity of the terrestrial snake's heart to its head, which helps to ensure circulation to the brain, regardless of the snake's orientation in space. The heart of sea snakes can be located near the middle of the body, a position that minimizes the work entailed in circulating blood to both extremities. In arboreal snakes, however, which dwell in trees and often assume a vertical posture, the average distance from the heart to the head can be as little as 15 percent of overall body length. Such a location requires that blood circulated to the tail of the snake travel a greater distance back to the heart, a problem solved by another adaptation. 20. It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following is true of species of terrestrial snakes that often need to assume a vertical posture? (A) They are more likely to be susceptible to circulatory failure in vertical postures than are sea snakes. (B) Their hearts are less likely to be located at the midpoint of their bodies than is the case with sea snakes. (c) they cannot counteract the pooling of blood in lower regions of their bodies as effectively as sea snakes can. (d) the blood pressure at their midpoint decreases significantly when they are titled with their heads up.
