FEIFEI-13

13. In 1712 the government of Country Y appointed a censor to prohibit the publication of any book critical of Country Y’s government; all new books legally published in the country after 1712 were approved by a censor. Under the first censor, one half of the book manuscripts submitted to the censor were not approved for publication. Under the next censor, only one quarter of the book manuscripts submitted were not approved, but the number of book manuscripts that were approved was the same under both censors. If the statements in the passage are true, which one of the following can be properly concluded from them?

A.        More books critical of Country Y’s governments were published before the appointment of the first censor than after it.

B.        The first censor and the second censor prohibited the publication of the same number of book manuscripts.

C.        More book manuscripts were submitted for approval to the first censor than to the second.

D.       The second censor allowed some book manuscripts to the published that the first censor would have considered critical of Country Y’s government.

E.        The number of writers who wrote unpublished manuscripts was greater under the first censor than under the second.

答案是C，当然C肯定是对的，因为从题目意思看，第一轮审查之后才送到第二轮审查（文中写了NEXT，因此我认为这是个假定）。那么C等于是一句废话，但是D为什么不对呢，我觉得D更符合GMAT的推理逻辑啊，请NN赐教。

Country Y appointed a censor
    

理解错误，应该是两代，不是两层。

HOHO,谢谢，这样就可以理解了。但是是怎么看出来两代的呢？
