A tall tree can transport a hundred gallons of water a day from its roots deep underground to the treetop． Is this movement propelled by pulling the water from above or pushing it from below? The pull mechanism has long been favored by most scientists． First proposed in the late 1800's， the theory relies on a property of water not commonly associated with fluids： its tensile strength． Instead of making a clean break， water evaporating from treetops tugs on the remaining water molecules， with that tug extending from molecule to molecule all the way down to the roots． The tree itself does not actually push or pull； all the energy for lifting water comes from the sun's evaporative power．
26． Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply．
　　Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
　　A． The pull theory is not universally accepted by scientists．
　　B． The pull theory depends on one of water's physical properties．
　　C． The pull theory originated earlier than did the push theory．
　　多选题型。正确选项AB。A项对应文章The pull mechanism has long been favored by most scientists，也就说明了not universally accepted by scientists。
这两句不是相悖的吗？？？一个说科学家喜欢，一个说不被广泛接受？？为什么这个选项对的？？？

万分感谢！！

not universally accepted是说不是所有人都同意。
就是把most换一个词
