标题: GWD 3-32没人问过

Newspaper editorial:

In an attempt to reduce the crime rate, the governor is getting tough on criminals and making prison conditions harsher. art of this effort has been to deny inmates the access they formerly had to college-level courses. However, this action is clearly counter to the governor’s ultimate goal, since after being released form prison, inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates.

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

Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is unlikely to deter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed.

Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population.

The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released.

Taking high school level courses in prison has less effect on an inmate’s subsequent behavior than taking college-level courses does.

The governor’s ultimate goal actually is to gain popularity by convincing people that something effective is being done about crime.[C]

这题的意思没看懂，“this action is clearly counter to the governor’s ultimate goal” “ inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates.”怎么是counter？

Because the original goal of the governaor to get tough on criminals is to reduce the crime rate, however, argument argues that the real result of this action might rusult in the opposite, i.e. without getting access to college-level courses, the immates might commit more crimes after being release... but this conclusion is based on the assumptiont that those immates were not originally less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released. so the answer is C.

i.e. without getting access to college-level courses, the immates might commit more crimes after being release...

" inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates."这句话是无法推出上面这句话吧?

还有高手可以解释一下这题题目，我也不是很明白阿

政府目的是降低犯罪率，但argument说因为after being released from prison,inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates.既然是committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates，又怎么会是counter the goal?
