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.
(C) It is compatible either with accepting the
conclusion or with denying it.
(D) It summarizes a position the argument as a
whole is directed toward discrediting.
(E) It is required in order to establish the
conclusion.
C。
答案是选对了。但其实自己也不是很明白。只是感觉好像是不是sociable problem 跟下文没什么关系。
那位给指点指点。

这道题问的是论证方法。
后面的argument是接收了前面的论据，但是否定了结论，所以选C

不好意思，笨的很。 能不能解释的详细一点。
谢了。

已经很明白了，答案的意思就是，即接受又否定啊，他解释得很清楚啊

不明白才问嘛。
C的答案是说 compatible either with accepting the
conclusion or with denying it， 所以不管是接受还是反对，都是针对结论而言的。 可是，解释说，接收了前面的论据，但是否定了结论。 所以我不明白，希望能够解释的详细一些。

available
的理解有歧异
一个是说可以住的，一个是说可以租的起的
所以结论是即可以接受也可以否定，available 更本就没有说明任何问题嘛

E选项为什么不对呢？如果没有第一句话，那么，homelessness is not a serious social problem 就可以weaken原argument了啊。

标题: LSAT-5-2-20
问题中的figure是什么意思呢？能不能解释为“作用”呢？
