78. In countries where automobile insuranceincludes compensation for whiplash injuries sustained in automobile accidents,reports of having suffered such injuries are twice as frequent as they are incountries where whiplash is not covered. Presently, no objectivetest for whiplash exists, so it is true that spurious reports of whiplashinjuries cannot be readily identified. Nevertheless, these facts do not warrantthe conclusion drawn by some commentators that in the countries with the higherrates of reported whiplash injuries, half of the reported cases are spurious.Clearly, in countries whereautomobile insurance does not include compensation for whiplash, people oftenhave little incentive to report whiplash injuries that they actually havesuffered.
In the argument given,the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
(A) The first is a claimthat the argument disputes; the second is a conclusion that has been based onthat claim.
(B) The first is a claimthat has been used to support a conclusion that the argument accepts; thesecond is that conclusion.
(C) The first is evidencethat has been used to support a conclusion for which the argument providesfurther evidence; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.
(D) The first is afinding whose implications are at issue in the argument; the second is a claimpresented in order to argue against deriving certain implications from thatfinding.
(E) The first is afinding whose accuracy is evaluated in the argument; the second is evidencepresented to establish that the finding is accurate.
finding算是论点还是论据呢？另外第二个bold为什么不是结论呢？ |
