Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
The irradiation of food kills bacteria and thus retards spoilage. However, it also lowers the nutritional value of many foods. For example, irradiation destroys a significant percentage of whatever vitamin B1 a food may contain. Proponents of irradiation point out that irradiation is no worse in this respect than cooking. However, this fact is either beside the point, since much irradiated food is eaten raw, or else misleading, since _______.
>A. many of the proponents of irradiation are food distributors who gain from food’s having a longer shelf life
>B. it is clear that killing bacteria that may be present on food is not the only effect that irradiation has
>C. cooking is usually the final step in preparing food for consumption, whereas irradiation serves to ensure a longer shelf life for perishable foods
>D. certain kinds of cooking are, in fact, even more destructive of vitamin B1 than carefully controlled irradiation is
>E. for food that is both irradiated and cooked, the reduction of vitamin B1 associated with either process individually is compounded
我想問一下大家覺得這題的答案是c 還是 e ??
我有看到有人釋這麼解釋e的
作者反駁那些支持irradiation的人的論點,用either…or…,先說明much irradiated foods是直接食用不用煮,表示支持者的論點無關討論,因為不管怎樣irradiated foods還是降低了許多營養價值,你提cooking沒意義;而支持者的論點也有誤導人嫌疑,因為如果是那些既要照射又要烹煮的食物,其營養價值將會減少更多,所以提出cooking當比較是不恰當的,無法替照射食物找到堅定的論點支持。
請大家多多提供意見!!!
