Mel:The official salary for judges has always been too low to attract the bestcandidates to the job. The legislature's move to raise the salary has donenothing to improve the situation, because it was coupled with a ban onreceiving money for lectures and teaching engagements.

Pat:No, the raise in salary really does improve the situation. Since very fewjudges teach or give lectures, the ban will have little or no negative effect.

Pat's response to Mel is inadequate in that it

A attempts to assess how a certain change will affect potential members of a group by providing evidence about its effect on the current members.
B mistakenly takes the cause of a certain change to be an effect of that change
C attempts to argue that a certain change will have a positive effect merely by pointing to the absence of negative effects
D simply denies Mel's claim without putting forward any evidence in support of that denial
E assumes that changes that benefit the most able members of a group necessarily benefit all members of that group.

我的答案：C

正确答案：A

A我可以理解

想问C为什么不对呢？Pat不就是说收入确实增加了---positive effect。因为几乎没有法官讲课，所以那种禁止几乎没有消极影响---absence of negative effects

做这道题目的时候，应该怎么理思路呢？

消极影响不是说影响不了法官讲课，影响不了那是没影响，消极影响说的是讲不了课的影响，文中没有说。你再好好读读Pat的最后一句。

第一个人已经说了会raise salary，然后第二个人接着说“是啊，的确会涨工资”；所以没有argue that will have positive change, 因为pat是认同第一个人的

没看明白..
最后一句：Since very few judges teach or give lectures, the ban will have little or no negative effect.
我的理解：几乎没人讲课，那禁止讲课对于收入几乎没有负面影响。---就是说，虽然我禁止讲课使得你没法从讲课中获得额外的收入，但是你本来就不怎么讲课（本来的收入就不是靠讲课获得的）-->所以说，我禁止你讲课对你的收入没有什么不好的影响。
那不就是，指出了没有什么不好的影响（这种你以为的不好的影响是不存在的），所以提高法官的收入会改变这种情况（可以吸引到更多的人到这个岗位）

不是这个意思吧，两个人的观点还是对立的
Mel: raise salary has done nothing to improve the situation 提高收入不会改善情况--吸引更多的人到这个职位
Pat: the raise in salary does improve the situation 提高收入确实会改善情况

这么理解，你看会不会容易些：
因为问题是pat's response is inadequate for ____?
我们C只是说了PAT是blah blah做的，我觉得C选项对他的argument非常到位，但是我们要找的是他与前面那个人相比少了什么呢？
就是少考虑了一些其他影响，如A选项所说
