※ 引述《student7 (student)》之銘言：
: 第五段:

: washed up on the shores. Remarkably resistant to the vicissitudes of ocean
: travel, they can survive prolonged immersion in saltwater. When they come to
: rest on warm beaches and the conditions are favorable, the seed coats softer.
: Nourished by their imported supply of nutrients, the young plants push out
: their roots and establish their place in the sun.

: and seeds have in common?

: D. They are able to grow in barren soils
: 答案: C
: 我是選D 因為A一定錯 spores沒殼
: B則是 spores 不是由花植物生出來的
: C和D就不知道要怎麼選了??

: 2和4要怎麼選??
: 先謝謝大家了>////<
首先，題幹是要問'通篇文章'(passage)，所以不只是看單一段來解題

C在推文裡面有人把文章提到的相關部分解釋過了
D不對是因為和文意相反:
第三段'only those few spores that settle down in very favorable locations
can start new life; the vast majority fall on barren ground.'
>>spore是無法在貧瘠的土壤成長的
seeds則沒有明顯提到成長所需的土壤條件
