lsat-8-4-23求解一道weaken的经典问题 - ChaseDream

Doctors in Britain have long suspected that patients who wear tinted eyeglasses are abnormally prone to depression and hypochondria. Psychological tests given there to hospital patients admitted for physical complaints like heart pain and digestive distress confirmed such a relationship. Perhaps people whose relationship to the world is psychologically painful choose such glasses to reduce visual stimulation, which is perceived as irritating. At any rate, it can be concluded that when such glasses are worn, it is because the wearer has a tendency to be depressed or hypochondriacal。

Each of the following, if true, weakens the argument EXCEPT:
(A) Some people wear tinted glasses not because they choose to do so but because a medical condition of their eyes forces them to do so.

(B) Even a depressed or hypochondriacal person can have valid medical complaints, so a doctor should perform all the usual objective tests in diagnosing such persons.

(C) The confirmatory tests were not done for places such as western North America where the usual quality of light differs from that prevailing in Britain.

(D) Fashions with respect to wearing tinted glasses differ in different parts of the world.

(E) At the hospitals where the tests were given, patients who were admitted for conditions less ambiguous than heart pain or digestive distress did not show the relationship between tinted glasses and depression or hypochondria

B选项究竟是什么意思……是否相关，大全的答案是B

题目中的意思因为有些人有depressed or hypochondriacal的倾向，才戴墨镜。

C 指出题目中的漏洞。题目中只说了在英国，结论就推广到全部人口了。这里说这个时间没有在世界其他地方做。也就是说你用一个小实验推出了一个大结果。

E 指出题目漏洞。暗示这个test本身有问题，即找的对象有误。那些conditions less ambiguous than heart pain or digestive distress 就没有这种关联。

B 无关。意思是即使是depressed or hypochondriacal person也会真生病，所以医生应该应该运用所有常规手段诊疗。......这个真的是一点关系都没有...... 做的时候主要看后半句就够了。

B questions the hidden conclusion the psychological tester try to arrive at: physical complaints cause depression and further wearing tinted glasses to ease the depression.

仔细理解了一下D选项，Fashions with respect to wearing tinted glasses ，有可能有两层意思，1戴不戴，2怎么戴。如果理解是1，就是有关，是它因weaken；如果理解是2，就是无关项了。

B questions the hidden conclusion the psychological tester try to arrive at: physical complaints cause depression and further wearing tinted glasses to ease the depression.

这个么......LSAT中只有一个正确选项，所以有时候比较着看有好处。不要太跟自己较真，不然题目到时候做不完的.......

谢谢~真理题目一多就较真不过来了，LS的，B选项的Even a depressed or hypochondriacal person can have valid medical complaints是否可能有一层意思，“甚至是d or h也会有确凿的病症（潜在含义：一般病人也有可能有），所以医生不应当只通过心理测试来确定关系（Psychological tests confirmed such a relationship是不成立的）”，哈哈，有些牵强……

呵呵，关键是说服自己就行了。题目做到后面看到好多答案都像条件发射一样判断出它长得像对的还是错的。
