Kate: The recent decline in numbers of the Tennessee warbler, a North American songbird that migrates each fall to coffee plantations in South America, is due to the elimination of the dense tree cover that formerly was a feature of most South American coffee plantations.
Scott: The population of the spruce budworm, the warbler's favorite prey in North America, has been dropping. This is a more likely explanation of the warbler's decline.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls Scott's hypothesis into question?
The numbers of the Baltimore oriole, a songbird that does not eat budworms but is as dependent on South American coffee plantations as is the Tennessee warbler, are declining.
The spruce budworm population has dropped because of a disease that can infect budworms but not Tennessee warblers.
The drop in the population of the spruce budworm is expected to be only temporary.
Many Tennessee warblers have begun migrating in the fall to places other than traditional coffee plantations.
Although many North American songbirds have declined in numbers, no other species has experienced as great a decline as has the Tennessee warbler.

在追求速度的时候一定要看懂题目
Scott说 因为虫子下降了，鸟才下降。 A说，谁告诉你的，B这个鸟不吃虫子但是也下降了啊。削弱。
B选项确实是提供了另一个解释的原因，没有在驳斥Scott，虫子的下降是因为生病，但这个病不影响鸟。而且这个选项取非，虫子的数量没有下降因为病。也和Scott说的没关系。
