People who do not believe that others are smarter than them are confident in their own abilities. Hence, people who tend to outsmart others think of a difficult task as a showcase rather than a hurdle, since this is precisely how people who are confident in their own abilities regard such tasks.
The conclusion above follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?
(A) People who believe that others are smarter than them tend to outsmart others.
(B) Confidence in one’s own abilities gives one confidence to outsmart others.
(C) People who tend to outsmart others do not believe that others are smarter than them.
(D) People who are not hampered by difficult tasks tend to treat such tasks as opportunities to show off.
(E) People tend to outsmart those who they believe lack self-confidence.
Please show your thinking process by pointing out the gap you mentioned and the way through which choice B bridges the gap. Then see if by filling the gap with B would ENABLE the main conclusion of the argument to be drawn from the premises given. If so, B is the correct answer choice. If not, B is not the sufficient assumption we need as the correct answer.
一开始也选的B= =....然后再回去看发现问题了…… B说的是onfidence in one’s own abilities gives one confidence to outsmart others. 连接了 confidence in one's own abilities和 confidence to outsmart others. 其实还是和句意中的要求的连接有微妙的区别………… 逻辑好难啊啊抱头
This is a sufficient assumption question because the word IF in the question stem.
As such, you need to plug in the answer choices and see which one would make the argument complete.
If you pay attention to the conclusion, you would notice that "people who tend to outsmart others", which is a trigger, is not mentioned anywhere else in the passage. Thus, we need that trigger in the correct answer choice.
Only C) fits the bill and when you plug in C), the whole argument works!
