American paleontologists David Raup and John Sepkoski, who have studied extinction rates in a number of fossil groups, suggest that episodes of increased extinction have recurred periodically, approximately every 26 million years since the mid-Cretaceous period.The late Cretaceous extinction of the dinosaurs and ammonoids was just one of the more drastic in a whole series of such recurrent extinction episodes. The possibility that mass extinctions may recur periodically has given rise to such hypotheses as that of a companion star with a long-period orbit deflecting other bodies from their normal orbits, making some of them fall to Earth as meteors and causing widespread devastation upon impact. According to paragraph 4, what aspect of extinction episodes does the companion -star hypothesis supposedly clarify? ○Their location ○Their frequency ○Their duration ○Their severity 答案是B 我覺得答案在最後一句,可是又看不出來為什麼.. 麻煩高手們看一下 謝謝 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.26.23.106

這段在澄清對於"RECUR PERIODICALLY"的理由假設
