The quality of unrefined olive oil is not actually defined in terms of acidity, yet extensive tests have shown that the less free oleic acid an unrefined olive oil contains per liter, the higher its quality. The proportion of free oleic acid that an olive oil contains is an accurate measure of the oil's acidity.
If the statements above are all true, which of the following conclusions is best supported by them ?

If the statements above are all true, which of the following conclusions is best supported by them?
When an olive oil is refined, the concentration of oleic acid in the oil is reduced.
The quality of an unrefined olive oil can be determined only by accurately measuring its acidity.
If an unrefined olive oil is intermediate in acidity between two other unrefined olive oils, it will also be intermediate between them in quality.
Free oleic acid is the only acid that unrefined olive oil contains. (C)
People who judge the quality of unrefined olive oils actually judge those oils by their acidity, which the judges can taste
Q: I chosed D. How to think over such CR problem? 3Q!
What the text talks bout is that the oleic acid has been proved helpful in measuring the quality of unrefined olive oil although it is not actually defined to do so. The text does not provide us with anything about whether the above-mentionned acid is the only acid that can be found in unrefined olive oil, so choice D cannot be true. Besides, as an answer to CR question, choice D is a little bit too absolute to be a correct one.
I thought the word of "only" is worth serious attention, as B, D, the above information did not give any suggestion of "only", so the two items could be precluded. Based on " the less blah blah, higher blah balh.. " I found C is the only answer deductive from the given information.
这道题开始我选A,后来觉得答案C是正确的。题干中提到未提炼的油的质量与含酸量有关,含酸越少,质量越高。所以C符合上述结论。A可能事实上正确,但本题题干只讨论未提炼油的情况,没有说油提炼后含酸量与油质的关系。A可能事实上是正确的,但那只是常识,光从题干本身无法推出A的结论。做逻辑题时很容易从自已的常识出发选答案,因此也容易掉入陷阱。A就是典型的“goes too far”的情况,供大家参考。不当之处请指正。
