,各位相亲评价一下Which of the following most logically completes the editorial below?
Editorial in Golbindian Newspaper: For almost three months, opposition parties
have been mounting（增多） daily street demonstrations in the capital in an effort to
pressure the ruling party into calling an election. Though the demonstrations
were well attended at first, attendance has declined steadily in recent weeks.
However, the decline in attendance does not indicate that popular support for
the opposition’s demands is dropping, since
A. the opposition’s demands have not changed during the period when the
street demonstrations have been mounted.
B. No foreign governments have expressed any support for the opposition’s
demands.
C. The state-controlled media have ceased any mention of the demonstrations,
leaving many citizens outside the capital with no way of knowing that
demonstrations continue.
D. There have not recently been any antigovernment demonstrations in cities
other than the capital.
E. A recent sharp decrease in unemployment has led to increased popular
support for the government.
关于这道题我的想法是这样，大家帮看看这样想对不对？
E：错误的原因在于：文中并没有表明government就是ruling party.
而C中媒体停止报道导致外部公民不知道所以参加数就下降了，但是不表明它们不支持反对党的要求了。
所以答案应该是C
E weaken the conclusion rather than support it.
噢，明白了。我一直以为E中那些公民支持government不是自愿的，而是由于不得已的支持造成了declined attendance，所以does not indicate that popular support for the opposition’s demands is dropping,
现在看来不是这样的，误解了呵呵
谁能解释为什么c会weakens droping的？？？
偶选了个A：（，看了一下C有点疑问呀
A. the opposition’s demands have not changed during the period when the
street demonstrations have been mounted.
表示这些都没有变化，那么说drop了就说不过去，从而跟结论有一致性呀。
C. The state-controlled media have ceased any mention of the demonstrations,
leaving many citizens outside the capital with no way of knowing that
demonstrations continue
但是C这里说 people outside the capital，不是说得偏了点么？文中一直说是capital 内的事呀，关外面的什么事？
I doubt choice C. The key for the argument is to know what gives rise to the dropping in the demonstration , but that has nothing to do with the stand on the opposition party's position. Judging the each choice, E stands out.
The decline in the unemployment gives rise to the support for the government, leading to the dropping in the demonstration. But the dropping has nothing to do with a re-election.
However C needs us to make one more assumption -state-controlled media coverage of the demonstration is an important factor to drawing people to participate the demonstration. In this sense, C besides the point.
明白了！ 多谢！
还是不是很懂啊。。。
E为什么对啊？
觉得是削弱啊。

看了这么多逻辑讨论,弄的最明白的一点就是:阅读是关键.

本题我觉得矛盾点在于 decline attendance 和 popular support 之间的，必须为这两个搭上一个桥梁，所以我认为只有C,能解决这个矛盾
,各位相亲评价一下
since后补足的应该是
the decline in attendance does not indicate that popular support for the opposition’s demands is dropping的原因。
C我觉得有问题，people outside the capital不知道demonstration 在继续和attendance # decline没有关系。文章没有说明游行的人是people outside the capital。C成立得有以下的assumption: 1. People outside the capital在游行队伍中占一定比例，能对人数变化构成影响。2.这些人是一拨一拨来，前面来的走了，后继人员因为没有从电视上看到报道，以为游行停了。
所以我选了个A。但觉得opposition’s demand似乎也有些无关。
关于C选项，是不是有些没有的选举的社会背景常识在里边？
PS. 楼主说mounting是增加，应该是只mounting demonstration游行的意思吧？
支持C哦
C说政府控制的媒体封锁了对外界的联系。
可以有两条思路来WEAKEN
（1）因为封锁了，这种活动对全国的影响力小了，为了使影响力变大，人们分散到各个城市去号召
导致在CAPITAL的人少了 但是整体人并没有少
（2）因为媒体封锁，使得外界对这个知道的消息少了，以为是没有活动了，来的人就少。
不管从哪条思路 都是WEAKEN
SIDE WITH C支持 C,
做题时候,还差点强行推理,把支持政府理解成不支持反对党. 差点选了E, 但是后来想想,E中至少没有提到示威的说法,应该是个trick.
我看了下帖子的时间,是从06年出来的,现在已经两年了.呵呵,后人辈出啊
