A 說河裡的 salt deposit 並不特別多,但卻沒有提到可能特別少,考慮不完整。似乎不是一個完美的答案。
個人覺得assumption應該是不用"完整", assumption, 為如果否定的話則無法推出結論. 此處A取非無法得出題目結論, 是assumption...
不需要cover到所有狀況, assumption也可以有很多, 可以有大前提小前提... 等等...
請高人繼續指點.... thanks!

evelight \$m[1]:這題AE決選,我選E,理由是E比A更基本
A: 河川所夾帶的鹽分含量在過去數百年間都很正常
E: 海中的鹽分只進不出,不會被海中的生物活動所消耗
選A大概是覺得要維持constant rate吧
可是過去數百年都很正常並不保證之前都很正常
這一來還是有可能違反constant rate
而且就算constant rate真的存在
如果沒有設想到鹽分在海中的消耗(output)
要靠單純的input和balance估計maximum age還是行不通的
Behemoth 寫到:
GWD-12-Q29:
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 yearsand 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?
A. The quantities of dissolved salts deposited by rivers in the Earth’s oceans have not been unusually large during the past hundred years.
B. At any given time, all the Earth’s rivers have about the same salt levels.
C. There are salts that leach into the Earth’s oceans directly from the ocean floor.
D. There is no method superior to that based on salt levels for estimating the maximum age of the Earth’s oceans.
E. None of the salts carried into the Earth’s oceans by rivers are used up by biological activity in the oceans.
Answer: A
我怎麼覺得a跟e都可以啊....
請教一下...
pamelatsai \$m[1]:不好意思~~
我第一次看這題目對選項(B)的解讀是
任何時候,地球上所有河川的含鹽量都是相同的~~irrelevant的敘述就把它劃掉了~
