Several ancient Greek texts provide accounts of people being poisoned by honey that texts suggest was made from the nectar of rhododendron or oleander plants. Honey made from such nectar can cause the effects the texts describe, but only if eaten fresh, since the honey loses its toxicity within a few weeks of being made. In Greece, rhododendrons and oleander bloom only in springtime, when they are the predominant sources of nectar.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly support the accounts of Greek texts?

A.There are no plants that Greece in ancient times that produce more nectar than rhododendrons or oleanders does.
B.In areas where neither rhododendrons nor oleanders grow, honey is never poisonous.
C.A beebive’s honeycomb cannot have some sections that contain toxic honey and other sections that contain nontoxic honey
D.The incidents of honey poisoning that are related in the ancient texts occurred in the springtime or in the early summer
E.Whether the honey in a beehive is toxic depends solely on which plants were the source of that was used to make the honey.

Ans. D

沒搜尋到這提的討論 想說放上來 如果版主有空可以收錄到討論匯總內
希臘人說 honey有毒是因為花蜜有毒 而花蜜有毒是因為rhododendrons和oleander有毒
作者說 1.同意希臘人 但是花蜜要新鮮的才有毒
2.rhododendrons和oleander只有春天才有

BD決選
B-沒有rhododendrons和oleander的地方honey從來沒毒(但有可能因為毒性已經消失了?)
D-希臘人說的中毒情形只發生在春天(有可能是別的花?)

CD上支持B的人認為因為題目沒有說春天 只有說rhododendrons和oleander
又只要support the accounts of Greek texts 所以D的情形資訊太多反而不好
但我覺得因為選項中有註明that are related in the ancient texts 所以還是D比較對
希望大家討論看看
