[Critical Reasoning]

试题详情

题目:

Press Secretary:  Our critics claim that the President's recent highway project cancellations demonstrate a vindictive desire to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.  They offer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts.  But all of the canceled projects had been identified as wasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisan auditors.  So the President's choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics.
 
Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary's argument depends?

选项:

A、Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.
B、The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President's party.
C、The number of projects canceled was a significant proportion of all the highway projects that were to be undertaken by the government in the near future.
D、The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the President's party were not generally more expensive than the projects canceled in districts controlled by opposition parties.
E、Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects.

答案:

B

提问:

只有把B改成 “The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by opposition parties." 我觉得才make sense. 因为只有被identify成wasteful的这些项目大多数不在反对党控制的地区,而在其他不属于反对党控制的地区也有很多被认定成wasteful,才能证明President是不偏心的。B选项说的是被identify成wasteful的这些项目大多数不在总统控制的地区,也就意味着总统控制的地区没有什么被identify成wasteful的项目,所以只会让人怀疑总统还是偏心于他的党派的。
