7. Whenever a major airplane accident occurs, there is a dramatic increase in the number of airplane mishaps reported, a phenomenon that may last for as long as a few months after the accident. Airline officials assert that the publicity given the gruesomeness of major airplane accidents focuses media attention on the airline industry and the increase in the number of reported accidents is caused by an increase in the number of news sources covering airline accident, not by an increase in the number of accidents.
Which of the following, if true, would seriously weaken the assertions of the airline officials?
(A) The publicity surrounding airline accidents is largely limited to the country in which the crash occurred.
(B) Airline accidents tend to occur far more often during certain peak travel months.
(C) News organizations do not have any guidelines to help them decide how severe or how close an accident must be for it to receive coverage.
(D) Airplane accidents receive coverage by news sources only when the news sources find it advantageous to do so.(B)
(E) Studies by government regulations show that the number of airplane flight miles remains relatively constant from month to month.
请NN解释一下为什么选B,完全没有概念的说!
P.S. 逻辑区的斑竹们:请问这里有没有大全里的GMAT部分的逻辑讨论汇总啊?谢谢!
Help!
Someone can translate AnswerC "News organizations do not have any guidelines to help them decide how severe or how close an accident must be for it to receive coverage."
B给出一个反例:旅游高峰期飞行事故就比平时多。
但, 旅游高峰期与事故报道有什么关系呢?
D说the news sources find it advantageous to do so,不是说新闻有价值才会报道,而是报道新闻有利可图才会报道
但是怎么看出来AIRLINE OFFICIALS下的是一个GENERALIZATION阿,没有什么ALWAYS,向来如此这样的字眼阿。。
B 是说了:旅游高峰期飞行事故就比平时多
但是并没有说旅游高峰期的报道多啊!(只是说出现时候后报道多)
这怎么能削弱呢?除非说是旅游高峰期事故多(搭桥)
这个选项不够完善!
题干说了一个一般性结论,不是针对具体某个事故,也就是说所有的在一个飞机失事后发生的报道增加都是不可信的(因为仅仅是报道的媒体多了)
B指出了一个反例,就是在旅游高峰期时确实有很多失事接连发生。
就好像说所有的质数都是奇数 我说错 因为2就是偶数(一个反例即可)
但(b)的答案并没有说明媒体的报道与事故之间的关系。所以我认为消弱是要找其两者间的关系来消弱,我认为是(d), 不知道为什么不对 ?
谢谢
