题目：
Last year a global disturbance of weather patterns disrupted harvests in many of the world’s important agricultural areas. Worldwide production of soybeans, an important source of protein for people and livestock alike, was not adversely affected, however. Indeed, last year’s soybean crop was actually slightly larger than average. Nevertheless, the weather phenomenon is probably responsible for a recent increase in the world price of soybeans.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest justification for the attribution of the increase in soybean prices to the weather phenomenon?
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest justification for the attribution of the increase in soybean prices to the weather phenomenon?
选项:

B、Most countries that produce soybeans for export had above-average harvests of a number of food crops other than soybeans last year.
C、The world price of soybeans also rose several years ago, immediately after an earlier occurrence of a similar global weather disturbance.
D、Heavy rains attributable to the weather phenomenon improved grazing pastures last year, allowing farmers in many parts of the world to reduce their dependence on supplemental feed.

答案:
A
提问：
题目强调的是大豆价格上涨和天气的关系。 我直接排除了B D E。剩下 A 和 C， 我读出A是再讲凤尾鱼产量受到了天气的影响，与题目天气影响是沾边的。然后C选项强调的是大豆价格上涨与天气影响发生的时间前后关系。 由于A选项在讲凤尾鱼，没有C
直接。我就选了C。 求问为什么选A
