Many gardeners believe that the variety of clematis vine that is most popular among gardeners in North America is jackmanii. This belief is apparently correct since, of the one million clematis plants sold per year by the largest clematis nursery in North America, ten percent are jackmanii.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A. The nursery sells more than ten different varieties of clematis.
B. The largest clematis nursery in North America sells nothing but clematis plants.
C. Some of the jackmanii sold by the nursery are sold to gardeners outside North America.
D. Most North American gardeners grow clematis in their gardens.
E. For all nurseries in North America that specialize in clematis, at least ten percent of the clematis plants they sell are jackmanii.
这题在书上的答案居然是A。书上是这样解释原因的:The argument assumes that sales of different varieties of clematis at the nursery reflect the relative levels of
popularity of those varieties among North American gardeners. It also assumes that jackmanii is the best-selling clematis variety at the nursery, an assumption which requires that less than 10 percent of the nursery’s clematis sales are of any one variety other than jackmanii. 所以,这个出题的人就这样主观臆断地认为了A是必然的选项。
可是,难道没有这样的可能性吗--在这个最大的销售商经营的余下的十多个不同品种的clematis里,有一到两种clematis的销售超过了这个 jackmanii,超过10%,那这个什么 jackmanii就不成其为最popular的品种了啊。所以当时一看到A就觉得这个答案是数学没学好的人选的。而且就从逻辑的角度来讲,这个选项也只能是充分条件,而不成其为必要条件的啊。怎么可以作正确答案呢。而且此外还有其他经销商的销售情况没有考虑进去啊,而题干里说的是most popular among gardeners in North America,最大的销售商的销售情况就能代表北美所有的销售吗?所以就不选A,所以按书上的标准答案的话,就又错了哈。
E也是有不对的地方——就算考虑还有其他的经销商,这个选项也没能提供严密周全的答案来。所以觉得这题没有一个答案是对的。GMAC不该出这种没水准的题啊--还是我对A的理解有问题?请指正。
