做GWD-3-32时一度对如何排除A答案很困惑，因为A答案取非后看似能weaken结论，这也是此题讨论贴中选A朋友的理由，但仔细看完这题后，终于发现A错误的原因。请大家看GWD-3-32A后的解释和GWD-6-38A后的解释。这两题的A答案都是迷惑选项。（注：这两题推理都有特点。常见的题中，因为所以中的元素一致。这两题中，所以部分都出现了新元素）

GWD-3-Q32:GWD-4-Q27:

Newspaper editorial:

In an attempt to reduce the crime rate, the governor is getting tough on criminals and making prison conditions harsher.  Part of this effort has been to deny inmates the access they formerly had to college-level courses.  However, this action is clearly counter to the governor’s ultimate goal, since after being released form prison, inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates.这段推理基于的假设？

目标：降低犯罪率。措施：不让上课。推理过程：因为上课的人犯罪少，所以不上课有悖于政府目标（上课有助于目标实现）。暗含假设：上课是人犯罪减少的唯一原因。C，排他因。

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends? 

A、Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is unlikely to deter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed.
   取非：不上课有可能阻止犯罪，看似weaken了结论this action is clearly counter to the governor’s ultimate goal，但和推理原因中的元素不一致，错
    

    B、Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population.

    B、Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population.

    C.The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not already less likely than other inmates to   commit  crimes after being released。排除他因,是答案
  

    D.Taking high school level courses in prison has less effect on an inmate’s subsequent behavior than taking college-level courses does.

    E.The governor’s ultimate goal actually is to gain popularity by convincing people that something effective is being done about crime.

[C]  作假设体一定要基于原文推理过程，看“因为”一部分，看利由是否充分，看理由是否有问题

GWD-6-Q38:  和上题相似

Three large companies and seven small companies currently manufacture a product with potential military applications.  If the government regulates the industry, it will institute a single set of manufacturing specifications to which all ten companies will have to adhere.  In this case, therefore, since none of the seven small companies can afford to convert their production lines to a new set of manufacturing specifications, only the three large companies will be able to remain in business. 

Which of the following is an assumption on which the author’s argument relies? 

1. None of the three large companies will go out of business if the government does not regulate the manufacture of the product.取非看似weaken了结论：three large companies will be able to remain in business.但和推理过程中的元素（small business）不一致，与推理过程无关所以错

2. It would cost more to convert the production lines of the small companies to a new set of manufacturing specifications than it would to convert the production lines of the large companies.

3. Industry lobbyists will be unable to dissuade the government from regulating the industry.

4. Assembly of the product produced according to government manufacturing specifications would be more complex than current assembly procedures.

5. None of the seven small companies currently manufactures the product to a set of specifications that would match those the government would institute if the industry were to be regulated.

答案：E

我做这两道题时,是用"初态+过程=末态"的思维方式做的!

能否帮忙解释下C的中文含义，我怎么理解都是刚好意思相反的，郁闷！虽然知道应该找怎么样的选项，但是如果选项本身理解错了，答案自然就错了。总觉得各位理解的含义和我的刚好相反，应该是我错了，可我理解不了！谢谢
