Q32:
Press Secretary: Our critics claim that the President’s recent highway project cancellations demonstrate a vindictive desire to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties. They offer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts. But all of the canceled projects had been identified as wasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisan auditors. So the President’s choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary’s argument depends?
答案是B，不太明白。
The press secretary wanted to prove that the cancellation conducted by president is not partisan based by demonstrating that all of the canceled projects had been identified as wasteful in the report written by nonpartisan auditors. Among the projects identified as wasteful in the report if only those projects in legislative districts controlled by opposition parties were cancelled by president, the cancellation is by all means a partisan action.
按楼下的意思的话，我觉得B应该把the president's party 改为 the opposition parties才合理吧
B不正印证了题意吗？the president's party 对对方予以重罚，是建立在他们自己的wasteful projects 不多，"were not mostly",要不然不就有partisan politics的可能了嘛
