- 下面哪個(gè)最好地補(bǔ)充了下文（）。 “政府”并非是作為一個(gè)制定政策的獨(dú)立實(shí)體而存在的。相反，有一群對(duì)選民意見(jiàn)十分敏感的民主選舉產(chǎn)生的實(shí)用主義者，他們制定能導(dǎo)致自己再次當(dāng)選的政策。所以，比如說(shuō)，如果公共政策與環(huán)境方面的考慮相對(duì)立，那么并非因?yàn)檎畡傘棺杂茫且驗(yàn)楸贿x出來(lái)的官員相信：
- 關(guān)節(jié)尿酸炎是一種罕見(jiàn)的嚴(yán)重關(guān)節(jié)疾病。一種傳統(tǒng)的觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為，這種疾病曾于2 500年前在古埃及流行，其根據(jù)是在所發(fā)現(xiàn)的那個(gè)時(shí)代的古埃及木乃伊中，有相當(dāng)高的比例可以發(fā)現(xiàn)患有這種疾病的痕跡。但是，最近對(duì)于上述木乃伊骨骼的化學(xué)分析使科學(xué)家們推測(cè)，木乃伊所顯示的關(guān)節(jié)損害實(shí)際上是對(duì)尸體進(jìn)行防腐處理時(shí)所使用的化學(xué)物質(zhì)引起的。 以下哪項(xiàng)如果為真，最能進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng)對(duì)題干中所提及的傳統(tǒng)觀點(diǎn)的質(zhì)疑（）。
