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?
A. Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.
B. The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.
C. The number of projects canceled was a significant proportion of all the highway projects that were to be undertaken by the government in the near future.
D. The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the President’s party were not generally more expensive than the projects canceled in districts controlled by opposition parties.
E. Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects.
总统秘书以非党派人士所持被cancel project是浪费的报告为依据,申明外界认为总统此举是对立马机构大本营为报复性措施的指责,是没有理由的..题目问,秘书该agrument的assumption是什么?
答案是B.说计划中的项目被认定为浪费不占总统政党所在选区项目中的大多数,
可这个和秘书的assumption我看不出有什么关系阿
请NN指教
还是不解阿..LS得gg能不能说的详细些阿..
郁闷坏了...
B.The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.
就是说在报告中认定为浪费钱的，但是却被批准要实施的项目大部分都不在总统控制的地区。
如果取反，就说明总统的反对不是依据预算，而是其它目的了。比如说出于报复。
非常感谢..
现在也的确明白newyearagain所说的那句话了..还是没有正确理解表达意思...
非常谢谢两位GG
还是不明白啊，为什么选B啊？
