13. Some people think that in every barrel of politicians there are only a few rotten ones. But if deceit is a quality of rottenness, I believe all effective politicians are rotten. They must be deceitful in order to do the job properly. Someone who is scrupulously honest about obeying the rules of society will never be an effective politician.

Assuming that the author’s statements are accurate, which one of the following statements CANNOT be true?

(A) Some people think all politicians are rotten.

(B) Some politicians are scrupulously honest.

(C) Some people define a politician’s job as obeying the rules of society.

(D) Some deceitful politicians are ineffective.（E）

(E) Some scrupulously honest politicians are effective.

为舍么是 E

E 并没有明确指出about obeying the rules of society

我觉得依原文并不能说E错

请指教谢谢!!

the stem of the last sentence is that someone who is scrupulous honest will never be an effective policitian

choice E runs counter to the main opinion of the passage

Thanks , kingsoft

I think I got it !

不好意思!!

这题我重新思考了一下

我觉得这题缺少了一个assumption 即"deceitful= not scrupulously honest "

这也是我对E有疙瘩的原因

不知道这种想法对不对请指教谢谢!!!!!

They must be deceitful in order to do the job properly。即do the job properly（即effective）推出deceitful（必要条件）。逆否命题为否deceitful（即scrupulously honest ）推出不effective。所以不存在some scrupulously honest 是effective。即E错

13.   Some people think that in every barrel of politicians there are only a few rotten on ...

Spot the question type: Must be false ( Negate of Necessary Assumption )

A.At least one people think that there are few rotten politicians, then it must be that it could be true that at。least one people think that all politicians are rotten.

B. If being scrupulously honest about obey the rules of society, it must be true that whom as the politician is not effective. So, it could be true that at least one politician is scrupulously honest.

C. it could be true and also could not be true for it is not really relevant to the argument.

D. So, the last sentence = Effective politician ---> not scrupulously honest about obeying the rules of society. Apparently, D mistaken negate of the last sentence. However, we don't really need to have only one sufficient condition to guarantee the necessary condition to be happened. It could be true, and also could not be true.

E. If A ---> B, Then A ---> No B will never happen. Must be false. Correct answer
