14. Some analysts maintain that an embargo by country Litora on the export of a strategic metal to country Zenda, if imposed, would drive up the price of the metal in Zenda at least tenfold. They note that few other countries export the metal and that, with an embargo, Zenda might have to depend on as-yet-unexploited domestic sources of the metal.
Which of the following, if true, constitutes the most serious objection to the analysis above?
(A) Litora’s economy depends heavily on foreign currency earned by the export of the strategic metal to other countries.
(B) There are foreign-policy steps that Zenda could take to appease Litora and avoid being subjected to an embargo on the metal.
(C) Geologists believe that additional deposits of the metal could possibly be found within the
(D) Only a small proportion of Zenda’s import expenditures is devoted to the import of the metal from Litora.(E)
(E) In case of an embargo, Zenda could buy the metal indirectly from Litora on the world market at a less than one-third increase in cost.
What's difference between (B) and (E)?
Thanks for your reply!!!!
题干问的是OBJECTION THE ANALYSIS ABOVE.
原文分析的结果包括:1, Z国金属价钱至少上涨10%;2,Z国只能依靠自己国家资源;等。
B没有反对上文中任何一个。
E加强了1,反对了2,所以还是反对原文。
thanks for your reply!
I understand now
不太明白,选E难道不是因为原文analysis中说"with an embargo"吗?
文章这么推论的--> Some analysts maintain that an embargo by country Litora on the export of a strategic metal to country Zenda, if imposed, would drive up the price of the metal in Zenda at least tenfold.和EVIDENCE few other countries export the metal
---->推出Zenda might have to depend on as-yet-unexploited domestic sources of the metal.
E说封就封啊,我直接上市场去买,就是走零售不走批发了,价格不过贵了1/3, 怎么可能会有10倍之多,断桥削弱么,原文的条件不对,结论当然就推不出.
我看了解答还想问一下,B说Zenda can take steps to avoid being subjected to an embargo on the metal.那这不是也可以反对analysts的说法1 Z国金属价钱至少上涨10%;2 Z国只能依靠自己国家资源)吗?请再指点一下. |
who can help me?
此类前提结论性削弱是应该建立在:承认前提,反对结论的基础上的.即:使前提条件为必要条件.否则,反对前提,那该种削弱就没有意义了.
请教D,是什么问题
Only a small proportion of Zenda’s import expenditures is devoted to the import of the metal from Litora.
说Z从L进口铁的费用占Z总进口费用很少的比例,就是说进口metal的费用很少了,所以值得去进口了,所以削弱结论:Z国只能依靠自己国家资源。
why 呢why...?
请教请教
UP
who can explain why choose E rather than D?
我认为应该是most weaken的原因
d可能weaken,但仍是十倍
e是小于三分之一.
当然是e更weaken了

tenfold我怎么觉得是10倍的意思?
E实际上是weaken了1, E的意思是说Z可以以不高出原价1/3的价格 间接从市场上买到L的东东 那么就不会发生Z内strategic metal猛涨10倍的情况了 所以起到了削弱的作用 既然能买到需要的东东 why bother to exploit it by Z himself? 从而也weakn 2....
此类前提结论性削弱是应该建立在:承认前提,反对结论的基础上的.即:使前提条件为必要条件.否则,反对前提,那该种削弱就没有意义了.
为什么weaken就不能针对前提呢?
个人觉得B之所以错是因为,它只说“有外交途径可以避免L国进行这个金属的禁运”。但是并没有提及是否应用了此途径,并且此途径是否有效都未知,所以不能对原文的结论进行weaken。
如果改为,Z国应用了外交手段避免了L国对自己的禁运。那就是一个很好的weaken。
D的错误在于:
They note that few other countries export the metal and that, with an embargo,
尽管只是一小部分来自于L,其他都是来自其他国家,那么一小部分也不能说这一小部分带来的影响就不会导致严重后果,而且这个选项幼儿有反对前提的错误
首先明确 tenfold是十倍的意思,而不是十分之一!
D错在于:选项之说进口Litora的expenditure 很少,但并不表示从从Litora进口的数量很少,如果在Litora的价格很低,那么就可推出数量和多,所以不能从Litora进口之后,Z国将首很大影响。所以并不能削弱
E说另一种途径能让价格仅上升不到三分之一,当然削弱了题目中的十分之一!
刚才笔误了
E说另一种途径让价格上升不到三分之一,削弱了题目中的十倍(而不是十分之一。再明确:tenfold是十倍)
D的意思是z国进口的费用中只有一小部分是用来从L过进口metal。不是说从l国进口的metal是z国进口的一小部分
所以削弱不了,因为费用的比例和原文无关
