陈向东的黄皮逻辑-假设专题第30题

sdcar2010

This is a poorly written CR problem.

What the argument establishes is:
1) If more surgeons per capita, then more surgeries per capita.
The assumption for this argument is:
Each surgeon performs the same number of surgeries.

But what the argument wants to say is:
2) Surgeons CAUSES people to undergo surgeries. THEREFORE, more surgeons, more surgeries.

However, the argument fails to lead to the second argument.

Answer choice A is more a strengthener than a necessary assumption.
