[求助]jj中CR的一道题答案应该是什么呢？在线等！

Newspaper editorial:

In an attempt to reduce the crime rate, the governor is getting tough on criminals and making prison conditions harsher.  Part of this effort has been to deny inmates the access they formerly had to college-level courses.  However, this action is clearly counter to the governor’s ultimate goal, since after being released form prison, inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

A.      Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is unlikely to deter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed.

B.Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population.

C.      The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released.

D.     Taking high school level courses in prison has less effect on an inmate’s subsequent behavior than taking college-level courses does.

E.The governor’s ultimate goal actually is to gain popularity by convincing people that something effective is being done about crime.

选A吧  取非削弱就行啦

对A取非：Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is likely to deter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed

不能上课则会镇压犯罪  刚好是对结论的削弱

而C选项取非会加强结论！

选C,

那些选择大学教育的罪犯原来并不会比那些没有选的罪犯在释放后少犯罪，也就说明support了大学教育是有助于减少罪犯再犯罪的，enhance了一些人对于政府措施的argument.

原文中并没有用harsher condition来deter犯罪的意图，而且从理解上在监狱里罪犯是无法犯罪的，所以不存在间监狱里deter。所以答案A属于out of scope
