Working shorter workweeks causes managers to feel

less stress than does working longer workweeks. In

addition, greater perceived control over one's work

life reduces stress levels. It can be concluded, there-

fore, that shorter workweeks cause managers to feel

they have more control over their work life.

The argument made above uses which of the follow-

ing questionable techniques?

(A) Associating two conditions as cause and effect

on the basis of their being causally associated

with the same phenomenon

(B) Taking for granted that two factors that have a

certain effect individually produce that effect

more strongly when both act together.

(C) Assuming what it sets out to prove

(D) Using an irrelevant point in order to draw a

conclusion

(E) Basing a conclusion on preconceived views

about the needs of managers

答案选A

前提一说，工作时间短产生压力小，前提二说，对工作的控制越大，压力越小。结论说，工作时间月越短，越感到对工作的控制大。

虽然有压力小作为桥梁，但也不是因果啊。

前提1 shorter workweeks -->less stress

前提2 greater perceived control over one's work life -->reduces stress levels.

==> shorter workweeks = more control over their work life.

将前提与前提2的原因画上等号，在这是问有问题的技巧，求questionable techniques?所以我想唯一的答案是

(A) Associating two conditions as cause and effect

on the basis of their being causally associated

with the same phenomenon
