标题: 一道巨难理解的LSAT-S4-I-15
15. M: It is almost impossible to find a person between the ages of 85 an 90 who primarily uses the left hand.

Q: Seventy to ninety years ago, however, children were published for using their left hands to eat or to write and were forced to use their right hands.

Q's response serves to counter any use by M of the evidence about 85 to 90 year olds in supports of which one of the following hypotheses?

(A) Being born right-handed confers a survival advantage.

(B) Societal attitudes toward handedness differ at different times.

(C) Forcing a person to switch from a preferred hand is harmless.

(D) Handedness is a product of both genetic predisposition and social pressures.

(E) Physical habits learned in school often persist in old age.

答案是A
这道题目的问题到底是说Q的假设还是M的假设? 如果是后者, 正常的语序应该是怎样的?? 谢谢.

The answer is Q's hypotheses.

The answer is not Q's hypothesis, but M's

标题: mindfree, yes, i agreed with ur saying, but...
I also chose E) as right answer, that is just Q's hypothesis. A) is M's hypothesis, but how to judge the question? I mean it's not in right/normal order, how to say the question in the normal order ? Thx!

E) is not Q's hypothesis for school can not be infered.

M-前提: 找不到80-90岁的左手使用者
Q- 解释因为被强制改了

问: Q 的用来反对M的解释是基于下边哪个假设的.

M 说没有了, Q 说有, 只是被强制改了. ---反对了M
为啥被强制改? 因为假设是: 右手更有利

不知道是否这末想清楚些.

M: It is almost impossible to find a person between the ages of 85 an 90 who primarily uses the left hand.

   the hypothesis of M: people using the right hand live longer than people using the left
                              hand.  which is to say, people using right hand have more
                              survival advantage than people using left hand.
            evidence:    all the people at the age of 80 or 90 are right hand.

Q: Seventy to ninety years ago, however, children were published for using their left hands to eat or to write and were forced to use their right hands.

         oppose the evidence:  not all the people are born right hands. which means that there might be some people of 80 or 90 are born left hand ,but later are forced to  change to use right hand.

         the M's hypothesis is not valid

标题: Thx, i understand M's/Q's hypothesis, but...
i still chose E) at that time, 因为不理解问题的意思. 我现在仍然认为他是在问: Q 的用来反对M的解释是基于Q作出的下边哪个假设的. 如果理解为反对M的假设, 正常的语序应该是怎样的? 谢谢.

jq,

You misunderstood the question. What the question asked was the hypothesis of M's. I think the question can be re-written as:
Q counters M's evidence, which is used to support which of the following hypothesis.

So the answer is M's hypothesis supported by M's evidence.

If I can get the main part of the question like this:

Q's response serves to counter any use of the evidence in support of which one of the following hypotheses?

Q's response serves to counter any use by M of the evidence about 85 to 90 year olds in supports of which one of the following hypotheses?

试着翻译一下题干：

M：在85～90岁的人中几乎不可能找到一个惯用左手的人。

Q：然而，70～90年前，小孩如果使用左手吃饭或写字将受到惩罚（这里published显然应该是punlished的笔误）并且被强迫改为使用右手。

Q的回答反驳了下面哪一个假设，这个假设是用来支持M举出的80～90岁人的事例的。（我认为正确语序应该是Q's response serves to counter which one of the following hypotheses which supports the evidence about 85 to 90 year olds used by M?）

因此，这道题问的是M的假设。再把选项翻译一下，把M的事例加进去成为一句逻辑完整的话：

A：天生使用右手的人具有生存优势（，因此，在85～90岁的人中几乎不可能找到一个惯用左手的人。）

B：社会对待用手习惯的态度因时而异（，因此，在85～90岁的人中几乎不可能找到一个惯用左手的人。）

C：强迫改变一个人的用手习惯是无害的（，因此，在85～90岁的人中几乎不可能找到一个惯用左手的人。）

D：用手习惯是遗传和社会压力的产物（，因此，在85～90岁的人中几乎不可能找到一个惯用左手的人。）

E：学校里学到的习惯到老都会坚持（，因此，在85～90岁的人中几乎不可能找到一个惯用左手的人。）

这样可以看出，Q的话反驳的是A选项，对其他选项都不是反驳。

但的确太晦涩了，就是翻译成汉语，恐怕都不容易在一分半钟以内选择正确。
