爱爱, 我们需要用一个最好的选项(论据)去支持论点 The association’s argument “Diversity in work force participation has produced new ideas in management, product development, and marketing,”

你不能用等待被证明的论点去支持你的支持选项(论据),D根本没有提到Diversity, 应属无关选项.

choice D and E does not refer to the percentage of minority and women, therefore they should be excluded first.

Those businesses with the highest percentages of minority and women workers are those

一个全由黑女人组成的公司是不是有the most innovative and profitable,我不知道

the practice of choosing people for a job, college etc who are usually treated unfairly because of their race, sex etc

while urging retention of an executive order requiring some federal contractors to set

从OG解释来看，是要支持Affimative action is good business这个论点的，从题目的问法来看，是要支持引号里的。其实两者一回事。因为Affimative action就是要多样性的政策。这样想来就通了。

affirmative action

In the U.S., the effort to improve the employment and educational opportunities of women and members of minority groups through preferential treatment in job hiring, college admissions, the awarding of government contracts, and the allocation of other social benefits.

First undertaken at the federal level following passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, affirmative action was designed to counteract the lingering effects of generations of past discrimination. The main criteria for inclusion in affirmative action programs are race, sex, ethnic origin, religion, disability, and age. The Supreme Court of the United States placed important limitations on affirmative action programs in its 1978 ruling in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke; several subsequent Supreme Court decisions (e.g., Adarand Constructors v. Pena in 1995 and Texas v. Hopwood in 1996) imposed further restrictions. In 1996 California voters passed Proposition 209, which prohibited government agencies and institutions from discriminating against or giving preferential treatment to individuals or groups on the basis of race, sex, colour, ethnicity, or national origin. Similar measures were subsequently passed in other states. In 2002, in two landmark rulings involving admission to the University of Michigan and its law school, the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed the constitutionality of affirmative action but ruled that race could not be the preeminent factor in such decisions.

那么B中的the highest percentages怎么理解？难道占100%也是好事么？

D从innovation推出growth in sales，它的假设是women+minority能够推出innovation.但是人家题目让你加强的就是这个。你把它当成现成的往后推，推出D来，根本没理人家的事。也就是说，改进和增长即使有再强的关联，人家问女人和少数怎么对企业好，还是没用。

不知说明白没有。但是B的最高级我还是耿耿于怀，希望早日得到解答~

"Affirmative action is good business.So asserted the NA of M while urging retention of an executive order requiring some federal contractors to set numerical goals for hiring minorities and women."
试着分开翻译一把,希望对大家理解有所帮助:

Affirmative action is good business: AC法案是个好东东.
So asserted the NA of M. NAM如是说.
while urging retention of an executive order :当(NAM)在推动保留一项行政命令时.
requiring some federal contractors to set numerical goals for hiring minorities and women

行政命令)要求一些联邦承包商雇佣一定数量的少数民族和妇女员工.
