The response of highly automated systems controlled by complex computer programs to unexpected circumstances is unpredictable.
Which of the following conclusions can most properly be drawn, if the statements above are true, about a highly automated nuclear-missile defense system controlled by a complex computer program?
A. Within a century after its construction, the system would react inappropriately and might accidentally start a
nuclear war.
B. The system would be destroyed if an explosion of a large meteorite occurred in the Earth’s atmosphere.
C. It would be impossible for the system to distinguish the explosion of a large meteorite from the explosion of a
nuclear weapon.
D. Whether the system would respond inappropriately to the explosion of a large meteorite would depend on the
location of the blast.
E. It is not certain what the system's response to the explosion of a large meteorite would be, if its designers did not plan for such a contingency.
正確答案是E，但我要問的是錯的選項
OG對A的解釋:
A cannot be inferred since it is consistent with the stated information that no meteorite explosion will occur within a
century.
不大懂為什麼A選項明明只提到defense system和nuclear war，解說卻跑出meteorite explosion
OG對C的解釋:
C cannot be inferred since it is consistent with the stated information that an appropriately designed nuclear
defense system might be able to distinguish nuclear from meteorite explosions.
這個題目有提到麼？
