Wildcats are improbable candidates for domestication. Like all felids [cats], wildcats are obligate carnivores, meaning they have a limited metabolic ability to digest anything except proteins. Wildcats live a solitary existence and defend exclusive territories, making them more attached to places than to people. Furthermore, cats do not perform directed tasks and their actual utility is debatable; even as mousers, in this latter role, terrier dogs and ferrets are preferable.
Accordingly, there is little reason to believe an early agricultural community would have sought out and selected the wildcat as a house pet.
Rather, the best inference is that wildcats exploiting human environments were simply tolerated by people and, over time and space, they gradually diverged from their “wild" relatives. [br] Which of the following best describes the function of the highlighted sentence in the context of the passage as a whole
选项
A、It challenges a widely accepted theory presented in the passage.
B、It explains a fact that has long puzzled researchers.
C、It draws a conclusion from evidence presented in the passage.
D、It presents new facts in support of a hypothesis.
E、It formulates a new hypothesis from evidence presented in the passage.
答案
C
解析
根据文章可知,定位句是从前一句中得到的结论,所以选项C正确。A项通篇文章都是顺承关系,不存在反驳。B项a fact在文中没有对应。D项这句话没有说明事实,而是基于事实得到的结论。E项文中未提及a new hypothesis。
