Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
According to the last pre-election poll in Whippleton, most voters believe that the three problems government needs to address, in order of importance, are pollution, crime, and unemployment. Yet in the election, candidates from parties perceived as strongly against pollution were defeated, while those elected were all from parties with a history of opposing legislation designed to reduce pollution. These results should not be taken to indicate that the poll was inaccurate, however, since __________.
A.some voters in Whippleton do not believe that pollution needs to be reduced B.every candidate who was defeated had a strong antipollution record C.there were no issues other than crime, unemployment, and pollution on which the candidates had significant differences of opinion D.all the candidates who were elected were perceived as being stronger against both crime and unemployment than the candidates who were defeated E.many of the people who voted in the election refused to participate in the poll
答案是D，我选的是C，然后E也有一些迷糊，求解释～
Economist: The price of tap water in our region should be raised drastically. Supplies in local freshwater, reservoirs have been declining for years because water is being used faster than in can be replenished. Since the price of tap water has been low, few users have bothered to adopt even easy conservation measures.
The two sections in boldface play which of the following roles in the economist’s argument?
A.The first is a conclusion for which support is provided, and which in turn supports the main conclusion; the second is the main conclusion.
B.The first is an observation for which the second provides the explanation; the second is the main conclusion but not the only conclusion.
C.The first is a premise supporting the argument’s main conclusion; so is the second.
D.The first is the only conclusion; the second provides an explanation for the first.
E.The first is the main conclusion; the second is a conclusion for which support is provided, and which in turn supports the first.
这道题，我选的是B，答案是C。我想知道为什么第二个是一个premise？premise的定义到底是什么？是不是问题中除了结论就是premise？ 还有就是一个问题中是不是只能有一个结论？感谢！
