Critical Reasoning

试题详情

文章:

The average hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland has long been signifi cantly lower than that in neighboring Borodia. Since Borodia dropped all tariffs on Vernlandian televisions three years ago, the number of televisions sold annually in Borodia has not changed. However, recent statistics show a drop in the number of television assemblers in Borodia. Therefore, updated trade statistics will probably indicate that the number of televisions Borodia imports annually from Vernland has increased.

题目:

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

选项:

A、The number of television assemblers in Vernland has increased by at least as much as the number of television assemblers in Borodia has decreased. Televisions assembled in Vernland have features that televisions assembled in Borodia do not have
B、The average number of hours it takes a Borodian television assembler to assemble a television has not decreased signifi cantly during the past three years. 
C、The number of televisions assembled annually in Vernland has increased signifi cantly during the past three years
D、The difference between the hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland and the hourly wage of television assemblers in Borodia is likely to decrease in the next few years. 

答案:

C

提问:

老师,我不明白为什么C说没有减少,难道不是应该是没有增加吗?没有增加工作量,但是数量降低了,所以b的电视就少了,但是总数不变,所以从a来的电视是在增多的。

Tina老师好,这是一道assumption题,我的逻辑链是:B的工人少了——所以B从V进口的多了。当时错选A,认为B的人少了,V就得同等数量的增多。 现在看正确C选项也能理解,就是B人少了,且B的效率没有提高,补全逻辑链,才能得出B需要从V多进口。 想问Tina老师:1、我开始的错误推理犯了什么错误?2、原文前两句铺垫的两句,寓意何在?是不是不用看,好多题是否都是同理。 谢谢Tina老师!
