Traveler: Southern Airways has a far worse safety record than Air Dacentaria over the past few years, in terms of both the frequency of accidents and the severity of accidents. Therefore, although Air Dacentaria is slightly more expensive, I will choose it over Southern Airways for my flight from Pederton to Dacenta, since it is worth paying extra to have a safer flight.

Which of the following, if true, casts the most serious doubt on the traveler's argument?

正确答案: B

Which of the following, if true, casts the most serious doubt on the traveler's argument?

SAAD的事故率和严重程度高,但是ADSA机票贵,所以坐AD从安全上说更经济



(A) Air Dacentaria's flight from Pederton to Dacenta is nonstop, whereas Southern Airways' flight touches down in Gorinda on the way.直飞和换机跟钱和安全无关

(B) Most Southern Airways flights, but not its flight from Pederton to Dacenta, use Sarmouth airport, which because of its mountainous location is one of the world's most dangerous.大部分的SA的班机都用世界上最危险的机场,而PD没有

(C) For its flights from Pederton to Dacenta, Southern Airways uses a different model of airplane, with a smaller capacity, than the model Air Dacentaria uses for its flights on the same route.飞机容量跟危险和钱无关

(D) Only in the last few years has the cost of flying from Pederton to Dacenta been more expensive on Air Dacentaria than on Southern Airways.啥时候涨得价无关

(E) Although the frequency of accidents is greater on Southern Airways, on both airlines the proportion of flights that have accidents is very small.两个飞机出事的几率都不高


答案选B

这是prep一个版本的解释,想问一下为什么E不对,两个几率都不高,说明Southern Airways 的几率是低的,所以就算Southern Airways 比Air Dacentaria高,也没有较大影响,因为总体而言出事概率很低,这样不可以削弱吗?请nn们指导,谢谢啦~

E选项,飞机出事的几率不高,不代表不会出事,典型的一个trap answer ...percentage is not a precise indicator of number.



B选项:Southern Airways has a far worse safety record than Air Dacentaria over the past few years, in terms of both the frequency of accidents and the severity of accidents....直接攻击作者argument的premise的,证明那个severity和frequency对他这趟的飞行没有一点作用,premises都没了,他的argument还有用么?

再补充一下,作者的premises上面说了,frequency 和severity比较高所以他才选择坐另外一个,E选项已经强调了frequence是高的,显然加强了premises从而加强了结论...文章没有提及proportion其实严格来说是可以算作无关选项的
