2. Bonuses at DSR Industries cannot be awarded unless profits exceed a ten percent return on stock-holders' investments in the company. Higher profits mean higher bonuses. Therefore, bonuses in a year of general economic recession will be considerably lower than bonuses in a year of peak profits at DSR. The conclusion above depends on the assumption that (A) the firm will have relatively low profits in recession years (B) the amount represented by a ten percent return on stockholders' investments in the company will increase from year to year (C) profits rarely exceed a ten percent return on stockholders' investments in the company (D) profits in excess of a ten percent return on stockholders' investments in the company are all distributed in the form of bonuses (E) bonuses at DSR never drop to zero 答案A,为什么D不是答案呢?D错在哪呢?
呵呵,这里我可不同意小鱼的意见 注意原文的最后 Therefore, bonuses in a year of general economic recession will be considerably lower than bonuses in a year of peak profits at DSR 这里有一个therefore 所以这个结论是被推出来的,那么原文要我们选的是一个假设 而非你所说的:A并非补充出了条件,而是A是从上文中推理出来的 试想,如果经济不景气的时候而正好又是这个公司利润the peak的时候,会有therefor的那个结果吗,所以我认为在假设里,就应该排除这种极端的情况,而不仅仅是从原文推出来的一个条件,二者有区别
