The Earth's rivers constantly carry dissolved salts into its oceans. Clearly, therefore, by taking the resulting increase in salt levels in the oceans over the past hundred years and then determining how many centuries of such increases it would have taken the oceans to reach current salt levels from a hypothetical initial salt-free state, the maximum age of the Earth's oceans can be accurately estimated.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
The quantities of dissolved salts deposited by rivers in the Earth's oceans have not been unusually large during the past hundred years.
At any given time, all the Earth's rivers have about the same salt levels.
There are salts that leach into the Earth's oceans directly from the ocean floor.
There is no method superior to that based on salt levels for estimating the maximum age of the Earth's oceans.
None of the salts carried into the Earth's oceans by rivers are used up by biological activity in the oceans.
A的negation确实很可疑:不能分解的盐含量的河道异常的多,所以导致海洋的含盐量特别的高,会错判时间
选项B也是比较懵的,如果河的含盐量不一样,怎么通过含盐量增加了多少来判断流了多少年?
