請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題： A wet spring in Las Vegas has spawned hordes of grasshoppers so large that they are showing up on the weather radar. In viewing the radar, CNN meteorologist Allison Chinchar said it looked like there were two storms over the Vegas area: one in the north of the city (that was actual rain) and another right over Las Vegas. But the second one wasn’t moving as rain normally would, she said. “It looked as though it should be torrentially downpouring in Las Vegas,” said Chinchar. By changing the settings on the radar, meteorologists could see that the other “storm” was actually the massive hordes of grasshoppers that have settled over the city in recent days, Chinchar said. Las Vegas, like all of Nevada, has had almost twice as much rain in 2019 than normal, Chinchar said. “It appears through history that when we have a wet winter or spring, these things build up often down below Laughlin and even into Arizona,” Jeff Knight, state entomologist, said. “We’ll have grasshopper migrations about this time of the year, and they’ll move northward.” Knight said the swarms aren’t terribly unusual given the amount of rain the state has had this year. “We have records clear from the ’60s of it happening, and I have seen it ... at least four or five times in my 30-plus years,” he said. “There are some special weather conditions that trigger the migration.”

請仔細觀察文中提到 torrentially downpouring 的那個段落：說這句話的人當時正在看什麼設備？他是在描述這些昆蟲的「行為習性」，還是在描述「螢幕影像呈現出的樣子」呢？

- 道具解說：你看！選項 (C) 為什麼不對呢？因為文章裡的
torrentially downpouring（豪雨如注）啊，那是氣象學家 Chinchar 阿姨用來形容雷達回波圖上的「看起來像」的影像，就像是雷達螢幕上的「假象放大鏡」，讓蝗蟲群看起來超大片，像在下暴雨一樣！其實蝗蟲不是真的喜歡暴雨啦，別被表象給騙了喔！雖然濕濕的天氣對牠們生寶寶很有用，但沒有說牠們「喜好」下大雨！這可是個「邏輯陷阱」呢！
