问题 The Earthquake Country Alliance(ECA)recently released its guidelines for protective action in case of an earthquake. Operating under the slogan, "Drop, Cover, and Hold on," the ECA urges individuals experiencing an earthquake to drop to the ground, seek the cover of a sturdy table, and hold on. The ECA’s most important message is stay put. Individuals should not try to leave the room, even if better cover could be found elsewhere. The secondary message includes what not to do. Persons caught in an earthquake are now told not to seek shelter in doorways. Structurally, doorways are no safer than the rest of the building, and they provide no protection from falling debris. Similarly, individuals should avoid the so-called "triangle of life" on the side of furniture or automobiles.
Based on the passage, the author would most likely disagree with which of the following statements?

选项 A、Seeking out the "triangle of life" is an ineffective protective measure in the event of an earthquake.
B、In the event of an earthquake, individuals should always seek shelter in the dining room under the table.
C、In the past, people were told to seek shelter from earthquakes by standing in doorways.

答案B

解析 The best answer is B. The ECA’s primary message is that individuals should stay put during an earthquake. This means they should not leave the room that they are in, even if a better cover is in a nearby dining room.
