A prominent investor who holds a large stake in the Burton Tool Company has recently claimed that the company is mismanaged, citing as evidence the company's failure to slow production in response to a recent rise in its inventory of fi nished products. It is doubtful whether an investor's sniping at management can ever be anything other than counterproductive, but in this case it is clearly not justified. It is true that an increased inventory of fi nished products often indicates that production is outstripping demand, but in Burton's case it indicates no such thing. Rather, the increase in inventory is entirely attributable to products that have already been assigned to orders received from customers.

In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?

[求助]一道BF,我选C,答案是E

A prominent investor who holds a large stake in the Burton Tool company has recently claimed that the company is mismanaged, citing as evidence the company’s failure to slow production in response to a recent rise in its inventory of finished products. It is doubtful whether an investor’s sniping at management can ever be anything other than counterproductive, but in this case it is clearly not justified. It is true that an increased inventory of finished products often indicates that production is outstripping demand, but in Burton’s case it indicates no such thing. Rather, the increase in inventory is entirely attributable to products that have already been assigned to orders received from customers. In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?

A, the first states the position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second provides evidence to undermine the support for the position being opposed;

B, the first states the position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second is evidence that has been used to support the position being opposed.

C, the first states the position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second states the conclusion of the argument as a whole;

D, The first is evidence that has been used to support a position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second provides information to undermine the force of that evidence;
            

E, The first is evidence that has been used to support a position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second states the conclusion of the argument as a whole;

请NN指点

我觉得答案就是C嘛。  “the company is mismanaged” is clearly a conclusion, 哪有什么evidence?

同意C

这个段子的结构我理解为“伪论点”(反驳对象)-伪论点论据-总论点-支持性论据。

第二个划线部分是整个段子的结论(相当于阅读理解的主题),其后的大段话是论据。

而第一个划线部分是整个这段话要反驳的内容。

莫非是划线划错了?
