16.   Commentator: The theory of trade retaliation states that countries closed out of any of another country’s markets should close some of their own markets to the other country in order to pressure the other country to reopen its markets. If every country acted according to this theory, no country would trade with any other.

The commentator’s argument relies on which of the following assumptions?

(A) No country actually acts according to the theory of trade retaliation.

(B) No country should block any of its markets to foreign trade.无关

(C) Trade disputes should be settled by international tribunal.无关

(D) For any two countries, at least one has some market closed to the other.（D）

(E) Countries close their markets to foreigners to protect domestic producers.

这题做错了，花时37秒，选了A

我将A取非 国家遵守贸易报复 与结论相反了 If every country acted according to this theory, no country would trade with any other.

不明白答案为何是D

谢谢

Commentator's line of reasoning :

countries closed out of any of another country’s markets --close some of their own markets to the other country--pressure the other country to reopen its markets.

所以countries closed out of any of another country’s markets有这样的国家是它的前提。将D取非，正好否定了他的前提。他的推倒就不成立了。

Commentator: The theory of trade retaliation states that countries closed out of any of another country’s markets should close some of their own markets to the other country in order to pressure the other country to reopen its markets. If every country acted according to this theory, no country would trade with any other.

so if the country does not have at least some markets, how can the commendtator's theory 成立?
