陈向东逻辑P62-Q56

The workers at Bell Manufacturing will shortly go on strike unless the management increases their wages. As Bell's president is well aware, however, in order to increase the workers' wages, Bell would have to sell off some of its subsidiaries. So, some of Bell's subsidiaries will be sold.

The conclusion above is properly drawn if which one of the following is assumed?

A. Bell Manufacturing will begin to suffer increased losses.
B. Bell's management will refuse to increase its workers' wages.
C. The workders ar Bell Manufacturing will not be going on strike.
D. Bell's president has the authority to offer the workers their desired wage increase.
E. Bell's workers will not accept a package of improved benefits in place of their desired wage increase.


答案为C，请问C为什么对，E为什么不对

我试解一下:

本题的推理比较清晰:  not go on strike-->increase salary --> sell off subsidiary

conclusion: subsidiary be sold

所以有c

a中的suffer loss 为out of scope; b中的refuse to increase wages只能推出go on strike;d只是说了采取措施 的可能性, 但是没有说结果, 为irrelevant; e 为out of scope, 因为题目推理中没有任何条件设计accept a package of improved benefits in place of their desired wage increase会有何结果;

请指教!

NOT+WEAKEN 解法是不是只要WEAKEN就可以, 不一定要推翻原命题啊

拙见请指教

i choose (d).

A--->B,  so B and A is assumed .

The reasoning above sounds inconsistent with what ETS explains in OG.

'cause what can be assumed should be necessary to conclusion rather than sufficient.
