推断题。 题意为：“作者对主题的论述方法是什么 ”请参考文章第二段第三句：…生产商辩解道他们不知道有多少盐在薯条上，有多少盐粘在塑料袋上。文章第四段首句把莎士比亚在《哈姆雷特)的名句To be or not to be，that is a question诙谐地改成To salt or not to salt That is a question(到底吃盐还是不吃盐，这是一个问题)。由此可知作者的幽默，即选项B为正确答案。选项A“生气的”；选项C“科学的”；选项D“同情的”。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
