GWD-18-Q22

In each of the past five years, Barraland’s prison population has increased.  Yet, according to official government statistics, for none of those years has there been either an increase in the number of criminal cases brought to trial, or an increase in the rate at which convictions have been obtained.  Clearly, therefore, the percentage of people convicted of crimes who are being given prison sentences is on the increase.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

1. In Barraland the range of punishments that can be imposed instead of a prison sentence is wide.
2. Over the last ten years, overcrowding in the prisons of Barraland has essentially been eliminated as a result of an ambitious program of prison construction.
3. Ten years ago, Barraland reformed its criminal justice system, imposing longer minimum sentences for those crimes for which a prison sentence had long been mandatory.
4. Barraland has been supervising
                           convicts on parole 假释more closely in recent years, with the result that parole violations have become significantly less frequent.
5. The number of people in Barraland who feel that crime is on the increase is significantly greater now than it was five years ago.

答案C 但是我不明白为什么D 不对啊 我查了一下 假释不就是指有一些人要出去服刑啊 而D说这种行为的审核更严格了 所以假释出去的人就少了 所以监狱才会人满为患啊 为什么呢 想不明白呢
