Three large companies and seven small companies currently manufacture a product with potential military applications. If the government regulates the industry, it will institute a single set of manufacturing specifications to which all ten companies will have to adhere. In this case, therefore, since none of the seven small companies can afford to convert their production lines to a new set of manufacturing specifications, only the three large companies will be able to remain in business.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the author’s argument relies?
A. None of the three large companies will go out of business if the government does not regulate the manufacture of the product.
B. It would cost more to convert the production lines of the small companies to a new set of manufacturing specifications than it would to convert the production lines of the large companies.
C. Industry lobbyists will be unable to dissuade the government from regulating the industry.
D. Assembly of the product produced according to government manufacturing specifications would be more complex than current assembly procedures.(E)
E. None of the seven small companies currently manufactures the product to a set of specifications that would match those the government would institute if the industry were to be regulated.
我觉得B是对的,可答案是E。请教高手!
对B取非,则变成:小厂的转换成本不比大厂的转换成本高,但这并不能削弱结论,因为根据题目中的已知条件,即使转换成本相同,也有可能大厂能够承担而小厂承担不了。所以,B不是Assumption.
对E取非,则变成:有些小厂目前生产的产品就能够符合政府将要实施的规定,这样就削弱了“以后只能三个大厂才能留在这个行业”的结论。所以,E是Assumption.
想问如果没有E,C是不是也可以,对C 取非可以反对原文啊
我还想问一下,D为什么不对?
D. Assembly of the product produced according to government manufacturing specifications would be more complex than current assembly procedures.
也许新的spec比就得还要简单,那小厂也能遵从修改后的spec,所以不会受影响。
题里的假设就是说新spec要复杂,复杂可能就花钱多,或者难度大,小厂承受不了。怎么觉得也挺对的啊?
我也觉得选E题。楼上们都解释得很清楚了。我想说的是GWD的答案到底哪里有讨论过得可以算得上全对的。每天v都错一两道,上来讨论发现又是对的,心情很差啊……
楼上牛人
感慨呀
糟糕的事我觉得A也没错。如果任意一个大厂在政府管制前倒掉,那么结论也不成立阿。
我觉得这个题目的E直接就在题干原话里面,"since none of the seven small companies can afford to convert",感觉就是小厂肯定需要convert. 这道题和好多assumption的题目感觉有点不同,一般的assumption题目都有一个gap需要选项来弥补,但是这道题似乎连gap都没有,直接重复原话了。这种情况下取非当然推翻结论。做题的时候总觉得有点别扭,我是确认了ABCD肯定错的情况下才选的E。
A说的是政府不去管制,大厂不会倒掉,但是题目说的是政府实施管制的情况,所以A应该是武官选项。即使把A取非,政府不管制的话将有大厂倒掉,也不能伤害题干的结论。
C,整个题干的前提是if,也就是在讨论一种可能的情况,至于这种情况实际发生与否并不影响在if之下的逻辑讨论。
D是无关选项,甚至都不能加强结论,更不可能是assumption了。符合政府要求的生产线复杂与否,与转换费用没有任何关系。推测它们正相关是没有依据的。
B是一个strengthen的答案,但并不是必要条件。分清楚strengthen和assumption的区别对于做assumption的题目很重要。

能帮我解释一下吗,如何让分清strengthen和assumption的区别呢?
我就选的b :(

LS好久远的回复啊,(*^__^*) 嘻嘻……,我考完GMAT已经很久了,
Anyway,thank you all the same
