[求助]GWD1－17 一道boldface题

Q17:

Editorial:

An arrest made by a Midville police officer is provisional until the officer has taken the suspect to the police station and the watch commander has officially approved the arrest.  Such approval is denied if the commander judges that the evidence on which the provisional arrest is based is insufficient.  A government efficiency expert has found that almost all provisional arrests meet standards for adequacy of evidence that watch commanders enforce.  The expert therefore recommends that the watch commander’s approval should no longer be required since the officers’ time spent obtaining approval is largely wasted.  This recommendation should be rejected as dangerous, however, since there is no assurance that the watch commanders’ standards will continue to be observed once approval is no longer required.

In the editorial, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

1. The first is a recommendation made by the editorial; the second acknowledges a potential objection against that recommendation.

2. The first is a proposal against which the editorial is directed; the second is a judgment reached by the editorial concerning that proposal.

3. The first provides evidence in support of a recommendation that the editorial supports; the second is the conclusion reached by the editorial.

4. The first is a position that the editorial challenges; the second is a judgment that was made in support of that challenged position.

5. The first is a recommendation that the editorial questions; the second provides evidence against that recommendation.

题目的意思我是猜的一个大概，不能完全看懂它的意思，请诸位帮忙解释一下。

其次我查了一下，发现这题有不同的答案，究竟应该选那项？为什么呢？

谢谢！

我个人觉得是b 很明显第一句不是evidence，而是editorial要反对的一个观点或要反对的一项建议。第二句是editorial说的一句陈述观点的句子。针对前面的第一句的观点，editorial给出了自己的判断，说不同意这个recommendation.所以我觉得是B 欢迎大家讨论
