24. Public policy dictates the health risks the public routinely takes. Statistical arguments about health risks are used primarily to deflect public fears, while contributing little to policy debate. For example, statistics are cited to imply that wearing a seat belt reduces one's risk of death in an automobile accident, deflecting attention from the fact that a transportation policy that promotes increasing use of automobiles inherently increases any individual's risk of death in an automobile accident.
The way the example functions above is most closely paralleled in which one of the following?

(A) Statistics indicate that an individual's risk of contracting cancer from radiation emitted by a nuclear power plant is less than that of contracting cancer from sunshine. These statistics draw attention away from the fact that a policy of energy conservation is safer for human health than a policy based on nuclear energy.
(B) Statistics indicate that an urban resident's risk of accidental death from any cause is no greater than that of an individual who lives in a suburban or rural area. These statistics counter the widely held public belief that urban areas are more dangerous than suburban or rural areas.
(C) Statistics indicate that the average life expectancy of males is shorter than that of females. This alone should not influence policies regarding eligibility for life insurance because it is also true that any individual's expectancy can be calculated on the basis of personal characteristics and health practices.
(D) Statistics indicate that the average life expectancy of males is shorter than that of females. When one accounts for the fact that females smoke less and are less likely to work in jobs in the chemical and manufacturing industries, the difference in life expectancy is narrowed.
(E) Statistics indicate that the number of people dependent on alcohol far exceeds the number dependent on illegal addictive drugs; thus, any policy for the control and treatment of substance abuse should provide for treatment of alcoholism.

答案A。我选B因为：原文由于统计A->X, 所以大家忽略了C->X。其结果总是X。只有B符合这个思路。

这种PARALLEL题，还有其他类似的contains flawed reasoning most similar to the flawed reasoning in the argument above?这一类题目，耗时无数（选项特长，读完不易；原文必须深刻理解，否则类推不易），正确率极低。看OG里面好像没有类似题目。请前辈指点：
1 这类题GMAT是否考？如果考，忽略以下20行；如果不考：
2 不做这类题有什么不好？
3 做了这类题有什么好？

谢谢!

不是前辈，不过我可以肯定第一点：
1。不考

不肯定：
2。不做没什么不好
3。做了应该会提高快速阅读能力(当然要有时间限制)。。

我做LSAT的一个主要目的是提高快速阅读能力。。

呵呵, 我也同意albert

通气：
我做完了LSAT22I: 44分钟，错6
LSAT22II: 43分钟，错9

为了增加准确率，我延长了时间，但是好象准确率没显著提高，时间却显著延长了。
感觉阅读速度也慢了很多，看来我还是要回到原来的速度，牺牲准确率。

嗬嗬，看来还是得做.......

对。。做做，即使错了，不用太仔细研究就是了。
