标题: lsat 5-4-20

20. Politician: Homelessness is a serious social problem, but further government spending to provide low-income housing is not the cure for homelessness. The most cursory glance at the real-estate section of any major newspaper is enough to show that there is no lack of housing units available to rent. So the frequent claim that people are homeless because of a lack of available housing is wrong.> >>>

That homelessness is a serious social problem figures in the argument in which one of the following ways?> >

(A) It suggests an alternative perspective to the one adopted in the argument.> >

(B) It sets out a problem the argument is designed to resolve.> >

(D) It summarizes a position the argument as a whole is directed toward discrediting.

(E) It is required in order to establish the conclusion.

答案是C，我做的是E，虽然不是很确定，但为什么是C我还是不明白

C的意思是说，我们既应该看到无房居住的确是一个严重的社会问题，但是它又不是因为现实中没有房子，所以说既肯定了这个命题，有否定了是因为 there is no lack of housing units available to rent

politician recognizes homeless is a problem, and suggests the reason for it is not lack of houses for rent. so homless is a problem is just a statement, it's neither a premise nor conclusion. rejecting it or accepting it does not weaken or strenthen the argument, that's what C) is talking about. E) makes it a premise, which is wrong.
