During excavations for a highway,workers just uncovered a hoard of over 30,000 eighteenth-century gold coins.These coins, most in superb condition, are of a type that has long been quiterare and correspondingly highly valued. Several coins of the same date and typerecently sold at auction for over $5,000 each, despite being in poor condition.Clearly, therefore, in today’s market, this hoard, if sold, is bound to bringin at least $150,000,000.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends? 假设题: 工人们发现了一些金币>30000,这些金币都质地很好可以卖个好价钱。一些相同日期和型号的现在可以一个卖5000刀,尽管是不太行的质地。(结论)因此,在今天这个金币会至少卖150 000 000刀。 (A) The workers who uncovered the coins did not take for themselves asignificant number of coins before reporting their find.就算他们隐瞒了还是会卖得到那么多钱的。
(B) The hoard of coins would not bring in more if broken down into smallparcels to be sold individually than if sold as a single quantity. 假设它买小块的金币赚的少,那就卖不了那么多钱了。
(C) The appearance on the market of thousands of additional coins of this typewill not significantly affect the status of these coins as rarities. 假设其他硬币不会影响这种硬币的稀缺性-->那就会卖挺多钱的。
(D) It is not possible to determine whether the hoard of coins was buried bypeople who were then its legal owners.这个和他们是否是合法拥有者没啥关系。
(E) Whoever might sell the coins would be sufficiently knowledgeable about such sales to secure the highest possible price for the coins.无论谁卖这个硬币都会卖很高的价钱,这个和能不能卖到15000000d没啥关系。
Sales of Paradoze, a nonprescriptionsleeping pill, declined throughout the six months in which a certain televisionadvertisement was used to promote the product. Yet the makers of Paradozeconsider the television advertisement to have been very effective.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy? (前提)P这种非处方安眠药卖的少了,电视广告以前推销过这个产品。(结论)但是 P制造者觉得电视广告还挺有效。
(A) The makers of Paradoze had previously used television advertising topromote nonprescription products. P制造者以前用过这种方式推销产品。好像有点道理。。。
(B) On average, only one out of four advertisements for a nonprescription drugis judged effective by the drug's manufacturer.四分之一的做广告的非处方药被认为有效,这个和结论好像没啥关系。
(C) During the six months in question, Paradoze's share of a shrinking marketfor nonprescription sleeping pills increased. P的份额增加,好像挺对的。。。。
(D) Paradoze was the only nonprescription sleeping pill being promoted throughtelevision advertisements during the six months in question. 这个就很不对
(E) Paradoze's share of the market for nonprescription sleeping pills has always been small in comparison with that of its largest competitor. 他和竞争对手比个啥?和结论无关
