Newspaper editorial:
In an attempt to reduce the crime rate, the governor is getting tough on criminals and making prison conditions harsher. Part 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?
A. 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.
B. Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population.
C. 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.
D. Taking high school level courses in prison has less effect on an inmate’s subsequent behavior than taking college-level courses does.
E. The governor’s ultimate goal actually is to gain popularity by convincing people that something effective is being done about crime.
我觉得c更像weaken呢？
题目中说这个方法无效因为inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates.
而c 中部正好是相反的陈述马？
我来试着解答一下~
注意c中be动词的时态.c的意思是说那些选择course的人之前:were not already likely to commit crimes after being released.意思说他们没想过不干,换句话说就是参加了course之后让他们金盆洗手的，支持了作者的论断：gov取消这样的course是不利于最后达到goal的。
