Newspapereditorial:
In an attempt to reduce the crime rate, thegovernor is getting tough on criminals and making prison conditionsharsher.
art of this effort has been todeny inmates the access they formerly had to college-level courses. However, this action is clearly counter tothe governor's ultimate goal, since after being released from prison, inmateswho had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than otherinmates.Whichof the following isan assumption on whichthe argument depends?
A.Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is unlikely todeter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed.
B.Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of thegeneral population
C.The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not alreadyless likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released.
D.Taking high school level courses in prison has less effect on an inmate'ssubsequent behavior than taking college-level courses does.
E.The governor's ultimate goal actually is to gain popularity by convincingpeople that something effective is being done about crime.
为什么A不对呢，A取反，说不能接受大学教育能减少犯罪率，不是正好削弱了关于措施不可行的结论吗
