The cause of the wreck of the ship Edmund Fitzgerald in a severe storm on Lake Superior is still unknown. When the sunken wreckage of the vessel was found, searchers discovered the hull in two pieces lying close together. The storm's violent waves would have caused separate pieces floating even briefly on the surface to drift apart. Therefore, the breakup of the hull can be ruled out as the cause of the sinking.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
Ships as large as the Edmund Fitzgerald rarely sink except in the most violent weather.
Underwater currents at the time of the storm did not move the separated pieces of the hull together again.
Pieces of the hull would have sunk more quickly than the intact hull would have.
The waves of the storm were not violent enough to have caused the ship to break up on the surface.
If the ship broke up before sinking, the pieces of the hull would not have remained on the surface for very long.
这艘船沉掉的原因不知道,搜寻的人发现了Hull断裂,且两半紧挨在一起。那么问题来了,是暴风雨造成了沉船,还是Hull断裂造成了沉船
搜寻者的推断是,暴风雨导致Hull断裂的话,不会挨在一起,因此是Hull断裂导致的沉船。
B选项是说,你怎么知道Hull断裂后,暴风雨不会把这两半鼓捣回紧挨着的状态。。。抬杠专业户,,
