Critical Reasoning

试题详情

题目:

In Australia, in years with below-average rainfall, less water goes into rivers and more water is extracted from rivers for drinking and irrigation. Consequently, in such years, water levels drop considerably and the rivers flow more slowly. Because algae grow better the more slowly the water in which they are growing moves, such years are generally beneficial to populations of algae. But, by contrast, populations of algae drop in periods of extreme drought.

Which of the following, if true, does most to explain the contrast?

选项:

A、Algae grow better in ponds and lakes than in rivers.
B、The more slowly water moves, the more conducive its temperature is to the growth of algae.
C、Algae cannot survive in the absence of water.
D、Algae must be filtered out of water before it can be used for drinking.
E、The larger the population of algae in a body of water, the less sunlight reaches below the surface of the water.
