请教GWD7-Q38

Journalist:  Well-known businessman Arnold Bergeron has long been popular in the state, and he has often talked about running for governor, but he has never run.  However, we have just learned that Bergeron has fulfilled the financial disclosure requirement for candidacy by submitting a detailed list of his current financial holdings to the election commission.  So, it is very likely that Bergeron will be a candidate for governor this year.

The answer to which of the following questions would be most useful in evaluating the journalist’s argument?

1. Has anybody else who has fulfilled the financial disclosure requirement for the upcoming election reported greater financial holdings than Bergeron?

2. Is submitting a list of holdings the only way to fulfill the election commission’s financial disclosure requirements?

3. Did the information recently obtained by the journalists come directly from the election commission?

4. Have Bergeron’s financial holdings increased in value in recent years?

5. Had Bergeron also fulfilled the financial disclosure requirements for candidacy before any previous gubernatorial elections?

为什么是E呢？B为什么不正确呢？实在是想不通啊！那位NN帮忙点化一下吧~

原文 submit --> candidate

E. 过去有没有对candidacy submit过 肯定回答削弱原文 否定回答加强原文 正确

B. 是不是only way都和结论无关

感觉这题出的不好 过去不能推将来

Arnold Bergeron 都已经满足条件了

到底submitting a list of holdings 是不是满足条件的唯一方法已经不重要了 反正他都满足了啊

又不是题设说他没有满足

Evaluation.

Situation：AB以前经常说要run for governor，但是没有。

                  最近AB向election commission发送了一个详细的financial holding list
Conclusion: 很有可能AB今年会是一个candidate

要评价的话有下面2个条件：

1-      是否填了这个financial disclosure requirement就是要成为candidate的可能条件；

2-      AB之前是否有过类似的举动。

选项B 说是否一个holding的list就是填financial disclosure requirement的唯一途径，无关。
