24. If a society encourages freedom of thought and expression, then, during the time when it does so, creativity will flourish in that society. In the United States creativity flourished, during the eighteenth century. It is clear, therefore, that freedom of thought was encouraged in the United States during the eighteenth century.

An error of reasoning of the same kind as one contained in the passage is present in each of the following arguments EXCEPT:

(A) According to the airline industry, airfares have to rise if air travel is to be made safer; since airfares were just raised, we can rest assured that air travel will therefore become safer.

(B) We can conclude that the Hillside police department has improved its efficiency, because crime rates are down in Hillside, and it is an established fact that crime rates go down when police departments increase their efficiency.

(C) People who are really interested in the preservation of wildlife obviously do not go hunting for big game; since Gerda has never gone hunting for big game and intends never gone hunting for big game and intends never to do so. it is clear that she is really interested in the preservation of wildlife.

(D) If the contents of a bottle are safe to drink, the bottle will not be marked "position" so, since the bottle is not marked "poison", its contents will be safe to drink.

(E) None of the so-called Western democracies is really democratic, because, for a country to be democratic, the opinion of each of its citizens must have a meaningful effect on government, and in none of these countries does each citizen's opinion have such an effect.

　WHY E，哪位高手能解释下原文到底是啥ERROR吗，谢谢

原文是逆命题的逻辑错误。

再请教一下，Ｂ为什么不对呢？不也是逆命题吗？

原题的错误是：命题A正确，所以A的逆命题正确

E的错误是：命题A正确，所以A的否命题正确。

这两种错误不一样，所以选E

懒猫的解释有误。E之对在于其为逆否命题，其余皆为逆命题。

以下是引用wujy在2005-8-22 13:22:00的发言：
懒猫的解释有误。E之对在于其为逆否命题，其余皆为逆命题。

E。我是这么理解的：

原命题：只有当一个国家里其公民的意见对政府有影响，这个国家才是民主国家

for a country to be democratic应该理解为：

in order for a country to be a democratic country,。这句其实应该是是结论，不是原因。

结论命题：由于这些国家的公民意见都不能有这种影响，所以这些所谓民主国家都不是真正的民主国家。

结论命题是原命题的否命题。

E。None of the so-called Western democracies is really democratic, because, for a country to be democratic, the opinion of each of its citizens must have a meaningful effect on government, and in none of these countries does each citizen's opinion have such an effect.
