Critical Reasoning

试题详情

题目:

Traveler:  Southern Airways has a far worse safety record than Air Dacentaria over the past few years, in terms of both the frequency of accidents and the severity of accidents.  Therefore, although Air Dacentaria is slightly more expensive, I will choose it over Southern Airways for my flight from Pederton to Dacenta, since it is worth paying extra to have a safer flight.
 
Which of the following, if true, casts the most serious doubt on the traveler's argument?

选项:

A、Air Dacentaria's flight from Pederton to Dacenta is nonstop, whereas Southern Airways' flight touches down in Gorinda on the way.
B、Most Southern Airways flights, but not its flight from Pederton to Dacenta, use Sarmouth airport, which because of its mountainous location is one of the world's most dangerous.
C、For its flights from Pederton to Dacenta, Southern Airways uses a different model of airplane, with a smaller capacity, than the model Air Dacentaria uses for its flights on the same route.
D、Only in the last few years has the cost of flying from Pederton to Dacenta been more expensive on Air Dacentaria than on Southern Airways.
E、Although the frequency of accidents is greater on Southern Airways, on both airlines the proportion of flights that have accidents is very small.

答案:

B

提问:

题干问质疑TRAVELER'S ARGUMENT. 的范围是我从P到D选择哪个航班更安全,多花一点钱也是值得的。 我思考的角度是,既然是质疑,那么 1. 不应该选择 air dacentaria over southern airways for my flight from P to D. 或者 2. it is not worth paying extra to have a safer flight. 换句话说,答案是反驳travelers' argument,或者说这2个公司差不多,或者说那个出事的其实没那么危险 答案是B,我不太明白,B的范围说的是除了P到D,那个经常出事的公司SOUNTHERN经常降落另外一个飞机场,然后那个飞机场有世界上最危险的山。 我当时几乎把5个全排除了,想问一下老师B凭什么留下来?

提问:

我选的E,虽然SA的事故频率很高,但是两个航线在航班中的事故比率仍然非常低。我这是否属于选项发散,因我把airlines发散成了from Pederton to Dacenta的航线。 review的时候,看到B,大多数的SA航班,但不包括从P到D这条线的航班,使用S这个机场,这个机场因为处于多山所以是世界上最危险的地方之一。这是把其他出口打开,将原文SA本身发生事故的可能性降低。 但是在考场上根本想不到这么多啊~
