3. GWD25-Q3.
Mel: The official salary for judges has always been too low to attract the best candidates to the job. The legislature’s move to raise the salary has done nothing to improve the situation, because it was coupled with a ban on receiving money for lectures and teaching engagements.
Pat: No, the raise in salary really does improve the situation. Since very few judges teach or give lectures, the ban will have little or no negative effect.
Pat’s response to Mel is inadequate in that it
A. attempts to assess how a certain change will affect potential members of a group by providing evidence about its effect on the current members.
B. mistakenly takes the cause of a certain change to be an effect of that change
C. attempts to argue that a certain change will have a positive effect merely by pointing to the absence of negative effects
D. simply denies Mel’s claim without putting forward any evidence in support of that denial
E. assumes that changes that benefit the most able members of a group necessarily benefit all members of that group.

弱弱地问一声各位考试的兄弟姐妹，这道题答案应该是E吧，GWD给出的答案是A

感觉是这样的。你把PAT的话当成平时选WEEKNESS的选项。然后这道题告诉你，你的选项是错误的，因为啥

这题我只能理解题干和问题，但一看选项就懵了。。。

版上考古了下，发现还提到什么样本量和时效性的问题。。

求解~~

A: It attempts to assess how a certain change (raise in salary with a ban on receiving money for lectures and teaching engagements) will affect potential members of a group (best candidates) by providing evidence about its effect on the current members (since very few (current) judges teach or give lectures (so no impact) )

E: assumes that changes that benefit the most able members of a group (if able members refer to the best candidate, then it didn't mention the impact. On the other hand, the changes mentioned benefit the current judges who are not apparently not the most able members of a group) necessarily benefit all members of that group.

我选E的原因如下：

PAT: 提议是提高法官的工资收入，但不允许再有演讲类的收入，但这只会影响一部分人，所以该提议是好的。

问题：PAT的理由不充分，是因为什么？

选项E: 他认为对大多数法官有利的方案就是对所有法官有利的方案。

GWD给出的答案是A, 因为现在只有很少一部分法官有演讲类收入，并不能代表以后也只有很少一部分法官会有演讲类收入。

我个人认为GMAT考试一般逻辑都比较直接，所以E选项更直接，因为直接假定了少数法官的利益不在该方案考虑范围内。

感谢各位的参与和讨论，希望能够弄明清楚，否则考试时很容易错的。

首先，在CR中最重要的就是identify premise和Conclusion，这里的Mel 的conclusion 是“The legislature’s move to raise the salary has done nothing to improve the situation.” ，而Pat的conclusion是 ” No, the raise in salary really does improve the situation.“ － which is ”attract the best candidates to the job“. 他的Premise则是”Since very few judges teach or give lectures, the ban will have little or no negative effect.“

我翻成中文吧还是，就是说Mel说”因为工资太少，所以官方的法官没办法吸引最优秀的人才。最近虽然涨了工资，但是因为同时限制了法官的其他收入，所以对情况没有帮助。“然后Pat说”并不是这样，涨工资对情况有帮助，因为很少的法官（现在的）有这类其他收入。

然后我前面回复的翻译过来
A: Pat错误的用现在法官的经验来判断对潜在的（也就是要吸引的人才）法官的影响
E: Pat 假设对最有能力的成员有利的手段必然对所有成员都有利（是most able members, 不是most members）

这样应该清楚了吧，不管怎么样，他们争论的点在于是否能吸引最有能力的人才，所以并不在于是否对所有成员有利，而是是否对那些最有能力的人有利。

相比E而言，C其实在逻辑上更tempting，“ attempts to argue that a certain change will have a positive effect merely by pointing to the absence of negative effects” ：错误的假设涨工资有利仅仅因为它并没有负面影响。因为基本上这就是Pat使用的pattern。但是点仍然不对。
