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.
送给选d的同学们，不要再纠结了，a就是可以这样类比，虽然不严谨，但是人家说了两种鸟有相似的地方，所以是对的，而如果a 的类比没毛病，那么d就显得不太好了，毕竟要假设离开的原因是因为树少了
