GWD25-Q3

Mel: The official salary for judges has always been
too low to attract the best

Candidates to the job. The legislature’s
move to raise the salary has

done nothing to improve the situation,
because it was coupled with

a ban on receiving money for lectures and
teaching engagements.

Pat:  No, the
raise in salary really does improve the situation. Since very few

judges 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.

选A

因为 文中说 The official salary for judges has always been too low to attract the best

Candidates to the job. The legislature’s move to raise the salary has

done nothing to improve the situation,

因为薪水少，所以吸引不到优秀人才来当法官，所以涨工资的目的是 吸引外面的人才进来

P的反驳说  现有的法官不授课 ，所以不受影响

他的错误就是，我们现在是为了吸引外面的优秀人才，也许外面的优秀人才会care 那个ban的措施呢，也许外面的potential 人才会想去靠外快赚钱呢，所以A刚好说明了这点
