When a polygraph test is judged inconclusive, this is no reflection on the examinee. Rather, such a judgment means that the test has failed to show whether the examinee was truthful or untruthful. Nevertheless, employers will sometimes refuse to hire a job applicant because of an inconclusive polygraph test result.
Which of the following conclusions can most properly be drawn from the information above?
(A) Most examinees with inconclusive polygraph test results are in fact untruthful.
(B) Polygraph tests should not be used by employers in the consideration of job applicants.
(C) An inconclusive polygraph test result is sometimes unfairly held against the examinee.
(D) A polygraph test indicating that an examinee is untruthful can sometimes be mistaken.
(E) Some employers have refused to consider the results of polygraph tests when evaluating job applicants.
PREP上给的答案是C，可是我觉得B更合理吧。而且，好像之前OG还是XDF蓝皮上也给了答案，好像我记得是B来的。到底哪个更合理一些呀？求教~~
这是og的题，建议要好好研读OG先。
推理是客观的东西，而B说应该不应该，这是主观的结论，其并没有基于题目的信息。

Situation Employers sometimes refuse to hire job applicants because of inconclusive polygraph tests, even though inconclusive tests reveal only the failure of the test itself to determine the truthfulness or untruthfulness of the person tested.
Reasoning What conclusion can be drawn from this information? Inconclusive tests do not reveal anything about the person tested; inconclusive tests reveal only the failure of the test. Nevertheless, employers may choose not to hire an applicant whose polygraph test has had an inconclusive result. It is reasonable to conclude that these employers unfairly treat the lack of firm test results as evidence of a flaw—not in the test, but in the applicant.
A This statement makes a judgment that is explicitly contradicted in the passage, which states that an inconclusive test is no reflection on the examinee.
B The argument does not support this sweeping conclusion about all uses of polygraph tests; the passage discusses only inconclusive polygraph test results.
C Correct. This statement properly identifies a conclusion that can reasonably be drawn from the given information.
D The argument is concerned only with inconclusive tests, not cases when the polygraph test is mistaken.
E Employers who do not consider polygraph tests are irrelevant to the discussion.
The correct answer is C.
