[Critical Reasoning]
试题详情
题目：
Criminologist: Some legislators advocate mandating a sentence of life in prison for anyone who, having twice served sentences for serious crimes, is subsequently convicted of a third serious crime. These legislators argue that such a policy would reduce crime dramatically, since it would take people with a proven tendency to commit crimes off the streets permanently. What this reasoning overlooks, however, is that people old enough to have served two prison sentences for serious crimes rarely commit more than one subsequent crime. Filling our prisons with such individuals would have exactly the opposite of the desired effect, since it would limit our ability to incarcerate younger criminals, who commit a far greater proportion of serious crimes.

请唐老师讲一下这题，谢谢。我的理解是，这两个句子，不是互斥的，因为句子的开头或者末尾没有出现转折词，所以不能选B，对么？当然，如果互斥成立，如何选出B？
