92. According to the new office smoking regulations, only employees who have enclosed office may smoke at their desks. Virtually all employees with enclosed offices are at the professional level, and virtually all secretarial employees lack enclosed offices. Therefore, secretaries who smoke should be offered enclosed offices.
Which of the following is an assumption that enables the conclusion above to be properly drawn?
(A) Employees at the professional level who do not smoke should keep their enclosed offices.
(B) Employees with enclosed offices should not smoke at their desks, even though the new regulations permit them to do so.
(C) Employees at the secretarial level should be allowed to smoke at their desks, even if they do not have enclosed (D) The smoking regulations should allow all employees who smoke an equal opportunity to do so, regardless of an employee’s job level. (E) The smoking regulations should provide equal protection from any hazards associated with smoking to all employees who do not smoke. 看了og的解释,觉得不通。我是这样理解的,请指教。 结论:秘书应该被提供办公室 原因1:专业人士都有办公室,秘书没有。 前提:办公室吸烟条例:只有有办公室的人才能吸烟 假设应该是秘书是专业人士? 请指教解题思路?
我的粗浅理解,不要见笑
条件是:有单独房间的职员----〉可以在桌上抽烟 ;而结论是:应该给秘书单独房间。这中间有个gap, 就是所有职员包括秘书一定可以在桌上抽烟,D满足了这个条件,所以是assumption。如果D取非,也就是没有必要所有的抽烟的员工都给单独房间,原文推理就断了。
而C中,秘书即使没有单独房间,也该被允许在办公桌上抽烟,是削弱了结论。因为C成立的话,就不需要再给秘书单独安排房间了,因为他们可以直接在办公桌上抽烟了。
谢谢,我想我是太专牛角尖了。正如sophiefzhou所说的‘就是所有职员包括秘书一定可以在桌上抽烟’,我当时的理解是可能那个规定可以只允许秘书和专员,不必要允许其他职员,assumption是一个必要条件,所以我认为D也不对。
mindfree,D是正确答案,抱歉我没有些清楚。不过我想请教一下,关于思考的度的问题,如何才能不过度思考?
再次感谢二位。
The author uses analogy reasoning. Similarity between the two subjects is "assumption" of this argument.
Let me know if I am wrong.
OG对A的解释为:A tends to conflict with the conclusion, unless some enclosed offices are vacant.原文结论为:这些ENCLOSED OFFICES应该给抽烟的秘书,而A表达的是这些enclosed offices该给不抽烟的professional level的职员。在这层意思上矛盾。所以用tend,加上后面的补充说还有多余的enclosed offices的话就不矛盾拉。
不过,建议将A按无关理解简单些。原文结论说的是抽烟的秘书是否该给ENCLOSED OFFICES的问题,A说的是不抽烟的professional level职员给不给Offices的问题。所以无关。
我的理解:
条件:有ENCLOSE OFFICE 的职员可以SMOKE AT THEIR DESK。
而事实上只有 PROFESSINAL 职员可以SMOKE AT THEIR DESK。
结论:SECRETARIES 也应该可以SMOKE AT THEIR DESK。
ADDITIONAL ASSUMPTION:一视同仁!
所以两类职员在SMOKE AT THEIR DESK的待遇的问题上应该没有差别。
UP!
UP!
这个可不可以取反,那么如果C不满足,即如果不能一视同仁,则therefore,secretaries who smoke should be offered enclosed offices.这个结论就不成立了。
让规则对所有人都成立才有了退出秘书也应被提供enclosed offices的前提。
