标题: OG89题
Since it has become known that several of a bank's top executives have been buying shares in their own bank,the bank's depositors, who had been worried by rumors that the bank faced impending financial collapse, have been greatly relieved. They reason that, since top executives evidently have faith in the bank's financial soundness, those worrisome rumors must be false. Such reasoning might well be overoptimistic, however, since corporate executives have been known to buy shares in their own company in a calculated attempt to dispel negative rumors about the company's health.

In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?

(A) The first describes evidence that has been taken as supporting a conclusion; the second gives a reason for questioning that support.

(B) The first describes evidence that has been taken as supporting a conclusion; the second states a contrary conclusion that is the main conclusion of the argument.

(D) The first describes the circumstance that the argument as a whole seeks to explain; the second gives the explanation that the argument seeks to establish.

(E) The first describes the circumstance that the argument as a whole seeks to explain; the second provides evidence in support of the explanation that the argument seeks to establish.

答案是A，但是我选的是D，我觉得第一句话确实是describe the circumstance,第二句话也确实是一个explaination啊，是argument seeks to explain的不对吗？求解~~

前提论据evidence支持结论conclusion。B1：Since....."由于..."是用来支持“the bank's depositors have been greatly relieved（C1). ”的论据。"They reason that, since top executives evidently have faith in the bank's financial soundness, those worrisome rumors must be false. "是支持C1的另一个论据。“Such reasoning might well be overoptimistic（C2）, however,”通过however看出明显转折，通常however之后是主结论即the main conclusion of the argument. "since corporate executives....."同理是支持C2的论据。

楼主说“我觉得第一句话确实是describe the circumstance,第二句话也确实是一个explaination啊，是argument seeks to explain的不对吗？”我认为楼主的理解不能说错，但是重点是describe the circumstance的目的是支持C1，explain的目的是支持C2. 所以D并没有道出本质。

但是我一直以为选项了出现了conclusion,就是指main conclusion,并不是那些副的conclusion......

看一看曼哈顿的逻辑部分，我觉得挺有帮助的。

我比较薄弱的部分就是boldface题，感觉每次选都是错的
