Questions 156-157 are based on the following.
Companies O and P each have the same number of employees who work the same number of hours per week.
According to records maintained by each company, the employees of Company O had fewer job-related accidents last year than did the employees of Company P. Therefore, employees of Company O are less likely to have job-related accidents than are employees of Company P.
Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the conclusion above?
(A) Company P manufactures products that are more hazardous for workers to produce than does Company O.
(B) Company P holds more safety inspections than does Company O.
(C) Company P maintains a more modern infirmary than does Company O.
(D) Company O paid more for new job-related medical claims than did Company P.
(E) Company P provides more types of health-care benefits than does Company O.
A is the best answer.
The passage’s statistical data support the conclusion, but give information about one year only and identify no factor that would cause a higher accident rate at Company P. By describing such a factor, choice A, the best answer, suggests that these data can support a generalization like the conclusion.
1Company P’s greater number of safety inspections (choice B) may simply indicate greater attention to workers’ safety.
关于B项,不明白?我认为是weaken结论,但ets认为无关?
请指教!thx!
谢谢babypace,(Company P holds more safety inspections than does Company O.----此选项提及到了company p和o)
我想通了,文章没有给出安全检查和事故率的关系,所以关于这种关系我们不应进一步去分析。这样就可以理解ets关于此项的解释了。Company P’s greater number of safety inspections (choice B) may simply indicate greater attention to workers’ safety
而且非要去进一步分析,应该是p公司有更多的安全检查(可以更多避免一些事故)--〉事故率应更少
可能说的不对,

sorry,我粗心了没看到O写在后面,该打。
我的理解是这样的:P公司有更多的安全检查--〉P公司的档案里可能会有更多的安全事故存档。因为检查多了,发现问题机会也多。 O公司检查少--〉O公司档案里可能会有更少的安全事故存档。
这个推理为什么是无关的?因为在这个推理中,存档的安全事故多少和检查的次数有关,和本身O和P公司的工作是不是能导致更多的工作事故无关。工作事故多少已经是在那里了,我们只是通过检查去发现它。难道检查少,发现少就能证明没有工作事故了吗?只是你没有发现而已,对吗?
这是我的理解,你看这样子你感觉是不是清楚点。
我们对inspections理解不同:我认为安全检查是用来防范事故发生的。你认为inspections是事故发生后给事故定性到底是不是“事故”的。
但是考点是strengthen, 就是结合文中给的facts--According to records maintained by each company, the employees of Company O had fewer job-related accidents last year than did the employees of Company P.
来更好的加强结论。所以A最直接加强。
这是我的理解,babyface请指正。
1Company P’s greater number of safety inspections (choice B) may simply indicate greater attention to workers’ safety.
OG这点解释你能理解吗?就是说安全检查和降低工作事故是没有直接联系的,安全检查只是表示P对员工工作安全的关心,这里没有说到如何能降低工作事故。
如果你觉得这点你没有问题了,那B无关选项就是这样了,这题就这么着了。
感觉自己也不是特别清楚,就是使劲往og解释上靠。
babyface斑竹实在是尽职啊,谢谢!
也想讨论一下这道题:
题干中先说去年O公司事故少于P公司,然后说,therefore, employees of company O are less likely to have job-related accidents than are employees of Company P.
正确答案A是加强。
但是选项B:company P holds more safety inspections than does Company O - 如果说P在做了更多检查后,仍然在去年发生了多于O的事故,那么是否说明本质上P公司员工更容易有事故呢? 貌似B也说得通。
请大家指点。
P.S. 这道题的讨论链接好像没有放在讨论汇总中,请版主补全。谢谢。

我也有同样的疑问。 当时选了b也是这样的思路。
可能是楼主说的inspection的理解上的偏差造成的不同理解:
1. 如果safety inspection理解成防范事故的安全检查, 那么“P在做了更多检查后,仍然在去年发生了多于O的事故,那么是否说明本质上P公司员工更容易有事故呢?”
2. safety inspection理解成对什么是事故的评估检查, 那么就是babypace的解释, 题目中P公司事故率更高的原因是由于p公司对事故评估检查的多, 所以不能说明p公司的员工比o公司的员工更容易出事故。
那么这里的safety inspection到底该怎么理解呢??
望指教!
