Which of the following, if true, provides evidence that most logically completes the argument below?
According to a widely held economic hypothesis, imposing strict environmental regulations reduces economic growth. This hypothesis is undermined by the fact that the states with the strictest environmental regulations also have the highest economic growth. This fact does not show that environmental regulations promote growth, however, since ______.
A. those states with the strictest environmental regulations invest the most in education and job training
B. even those states that have only moderately strict environmental regulations have higher growth than those with the least-strict regulations
C .many states that are experiencing reduced economic growth are considering weakening their environmental regulations
D. after introducing stricter environmental regulations, many states experienced increased economic growth
E. even those states with very weak environmental regulations have experienced at least some growth
这道题答案选A。但是我记得按GWD课上他讲的，逻辑题一定要客观，严禁加入任何题目所给信息之外的主观背景或者个人推测，他当时还举了一个树枝砸车的例子。
然而这A选项所表达的意思是，这些strictest的州对教育和工作培训进行了大量的投资。
然而这个选项和题目中讨论的经济增长有个GAP，那就是教育和工作培训会导致经济增长，但是这个因果关系题目中和选项中根本没有提及，显然是属于主观推测的，这样的推测不是应该被禁止的吗？
这个题有更好的解释方法吗？
我现在GWD逻辑题答得很不好，每道题都要2-3分钟，正确率也不高，希望能得到大家的指点，谢谢大家啦！ 作者: mandy1991 时间: 2015-12-18 14:46

CD出的逻辑书里有讲到果因推理，我觉得这个题目应该是归为这一类.
果：the states with the strictest environmental regulations also have the highest economic growth
推出因：environmental regulations promote growth
然后题目是要weaken这个果因推理
CD书里讲了削弱果因推理的两种方法：
一.A,B之间是否真的具有因果关系。
二.是否存在C导致A，而不是B导致A。
那么这个题目的A选项就是引入了C条件（education， job training），所以削弱了fact和reason的关系。
B,C,D,E选项都是在说其他的states，可以理解为与本题无关，希望这个说法对楼主有帮助~ 作者: nianhuhu 时间: 2015-12-23 05:01

D. after introducing stricter environmental regulations, many states experienced increased economic growth
E. even those states with very weak environmental regulations have experienced at least some growth
问题：which most logically completes the argument below?
策略：1.划掉那些对complete the argument below 没有帮助的选项
2. 在剩下的选项中找最好的
分析题目:
1. argument 是：we can't infer from the facts that environmental regulations promote growth
2. what is the fact: states with the strictest environmental regulations also have the highest economic growth
初步思维:
1. find something that attacks the relation between strictest environmental regulations AND highest economic growth -> it should be a right answer
2. delete anything that helps the relation
3. delete anything that has no help at all
分析选项
A: it attacks the relation, so keep it.
B: it helps the relation, cross it out.
C: no help at all, cross it out.
D: it helps the relation, cross it out.
E: no help at all, cross it out. 作者: kluivert 时间: 2015-12-24 04:08
A选项说明那些经济增长快的states虽然有严格的环境保护法，但事实上他们的经济增长和环境法没有关系..这些州都是搞和环境无关的事业--教育,培训
这题如果换一种问法你可以秒选，不信你试试？
According to a widely held economic hypothesis, imposing strict environmental regulations boosts economic growth.
How to weaken the argument?
A. those states with the strictest environmental regulations invest the most in education and job training
B. even those states that have only moderately strict environmental regulations have higher growth than those with the least-strict regulations
C .many states that are experiencing reduced economic growth are considering weakening their environmental regulations
D. after introducing stricter environmental regulations, many states experienced increased economic growth
E. even those states with very weak environmental regulations have experienced at least some growth
这题第一句是废话，你信不信？我们把第一句拿出来，你看题是不是还是那道题？选项是不是还是A？
The states with the strictest environmental regulations also have the highest economic growth. This fact does not show that environmental regulations promote growth, however, since ______.
是不是就是简单的果因推理找削弱？
According to a widely held economic hypothesis, imposing strict environmental regulations reduces economic growth. This hypothesis is undermined by the fact的目的就是为了增多逻辑关系，增加难度。其实这是一个“无用信息”。有他没他不影响解题。
