以下是引用echo_bsc在2004-2-13 16:05:00的发言: 我觉得这道题在考察原命题和逆否命题的关系。原文中的条件是 not go bankrupt-->10% increase-->20% increase, 所以,可以推出 not 20%--->go bankrup, E is correct

大家都不细心,原文中的条件是 not go bankrupt-->10% productivity increase-->20% increase, 所以,可以推出 not 20%--->go bankrup。10%与20% increase 的东西是不一样的,20% increase 估计是指收入或营业额之类的指标。E选项20%productivity increase is unattainable for Quore,指的是productivity,而且甚至没有了时间限制“of the next two years,”。所以,我认为E选项应改为“If a 20 percent (删去productivity) increase is unattainable for Quore in the next two years, then it must go bankrupt. ”才符合各位大虾的推理A->B,B->C,then A->C,so notC->notA.
