问题 In a recent experiment, a high school English teacher interspersed real, commonly used proverbs with several nonsensical proverbial-sounding statements that he had made up. He then asked his students to evaluate all of the statements on the list. In general, the students found the bogus proverbs and the real proverbs to be equally full of wisdom and meaning. The teacher concluded that proverbs attain their status as proverbs more through frequent usage than through their inherent wisdom. Which one of the following, if true, would most effectively challenge the teacher’s conclusion?
选项 A、Some proverbs are used more frequently than others.
B、There were more real proverbs than bogus proverbs in the list of statements.
C、There are stylistic differences between proverbial and proverbial-sounding statements.
D、Some students view a statement in one way and other students view the same statement in a very different way.
E、The students selected as evaluators were too inexperienced to judge the wisdom of the statements.
答案E
解析 要对那个老师的结论进行质疑，首先就应该质疑他的试验的对象具不具有代表性，如果他试验的对象——他的学生自身都缺乏判断句子哲理性的经验，那么他的结论就是明显站不住脚的，因此(E)是正确答案；(A)、(B)、(C)和(D)都是无关选项。
