这道题的题干很简单易懂，除了BD两项其他的选项都有点傻白甜，很容易排除，但是现在的情况是：我觉得BD都是对的，有点棘手。首先B选项相当于提供给了我们一个摈弃其他可能性的原始状态，可就是我们在做物理化学实验的时候的一个空白对照组的感觉。
而D选项给我们一个因果很明确的逻辑链，即----发出了动作就一定会有影响！现在很纠结，欢迎大家都来讨论一下，我每天都会贴一个自己觉得很难解释的题，希望能坚持下去！！

Last week, all of the shipments that were sent out on Friday consisted entirely of building supplies, and the shipping department then closed for the weekend. Four shipments were sent to Truax Construction last week, only three of which consisted of building supplies.

If the shipping clerk's statements are true, which of the following must also be true?

A At least one of the shipments sent to Truax Construction last week was specially ordered.  

B At least one of last week's specially ordered shipments did not consist of building supplies.  

C At least one of the shipments sent to Truax Construction was not sent out on Thursday of last week.

D At least one of the shipments that were sent out on Friday of last week was sent to Truax Construction.

上面这道题是一个归纳总结题，这种题我过去很怕，但是现在根本不怕了，因为只要看懂其中的逻辑链就可以全部做对！所以这道题做错的同学，需要做的是多背单词多读书，你的问题目前还不出在gmat本身上，而是理解障碍！！
该题先说了：F是一个由某些作者提出的一个什么东西，但是是在假设noble class存在的情况下---yet（转折的点很重要）只有经过法律认可的class才是可以存在的----8世纪出现F，12世纪nobility才be recoginized by law。所以可以说F是先出现的，然后才有nobility。所以A就是对的-----nobility是F存在的prerequisite就是distort the history！！

For the writers who first gave feudalism its name, the existence of feudalism presupposed the existence of a noble class. Yet there cannot be a noble class, properly speaking, unless both the titles that indicate superior, noble status and the inheritance of such titles are sanctioned by law. Although feudalism existed in Europe as early as the eighth century, it was not until the twelfth century, when many feudal institutions were in decline, that the hereditary transfer of legally recognized titles of nobility first appeared.

The statements above, if true, most strongly support which one of the following claims?

A To say that feudalism by definition requires the existence of a nobility is to employ a definition that distorts history  

B Prior to the twelfth century, the institution of European feudalism functioned without the presence of a dominant class  

C The fact that a societal group has a distinct legal status is not in itself sufficient to allow that group to be properly considered a social class  

D The decline of feudalism in Europe was the only cause of the rise of a European nobility  

E The prior existence of feudal institutions is a prerequisite for the emergence of a nobility, as defined in the strictest sense of the term

这个题的重点在于environmental regulations promote growth，所以since就说这个increase跟environmental regulations没关系就行了，A点明了这一点，因为教育和职业培养属于第三产业，跟环境不沾边。
但是不得不说这题也不那么严密，谁说第三产业就跟环境条例完全不相关了？？所以很多人选了E，但是E错的地方在于gmat很容易出的一个迷惑点---差的怎么样，然后来说好的。就是对比不对等的情况，并不是坏的有什么表现，就会在同类事物上完全体现！！！

Which of the following, if true, provides evidence that most logically completes the argument below?

According to a widely held economic hypothesis, imposing strict environmental regulations reduces economic growth. This hypothesis is undermined by the fact that the states with the strictest environmental regulations also have the highest economic growth. This fact does not show that environmental regulations promote growth, however, since ______.

A those states with the strictest environmental regulations invest the most in education and job training  

B even those states that have only moderately strict environmental regulations have higher growth than those with the least-strict regulations  

C many states that are experiencing reduced economic growth are considering weakening their environmental regulations  

D after introducing stricter environmental regulations, many states experienced increased economic growth  

E even those states with very weak environmental regulations have experienced at least some growth

再一道BOLD FACE

Since it has become known that several of a bank's top executives have been buying shares in their own bank, the bank's depositors, who had been worried by rumors that the bank faced impending financial collapse, have been greatly relieved. They reason that since top executives evidently have faith in the bank's financial soundness, those worrisome rumors must be false. They might well be overoptimistic, however since corporate executives have sometimes bought shares in their own company in a calculated attempt to dispel negative rumors about the company's health.
In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?

A The first summarizes the evidence used in the reasoning called into question by the argument; the second states the counterevidence on which the argument relies.  

B The first summarizes the evidence used in the reasoning called into question by the argument; the second is an intermediate conclusion supported by that evidence.  

C The first is an intermediate conclusion that forms part of the reasoning called into question by the argument; the second is evidence that undermines the support for this intermediate conclusion.  

D The first is an intermediate conclusion that forms part of the reasoning called into question by the argument; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.  

E The first is an intermediate conclusion that forms part of the reasoning called into question by the argument; the second states a further conclusion supported by this intermediate conclusion.

这个题，刚开始在读的时候一直以为consumer advocate后只有第一句话是consumer的观点，没想到其实后面整一段都是他的观点，所以可以看出他的态度是，先说了一个普遍的观点，然后推翻它，所以打心里，他是不认可however前面的，因此选择了C。所以有时候做题，并不是你不会，而是你不懂套路。

一道蛮难的BF题！

Consumer advocate: it is generally true, at least in this state, that lawyers who advertise a specific service charge less for that service than lawyers who do not advertise. It is also true that each time restrictions on the advertising of legal services have been eliminated, the number of lawyers advertising their services has increased and legal costs to consumers have declined in consequence. However, eliminating the state requirement that legal advertisements must specify fees for specific services would almost certainly increase rather than further reduce consumer's legal costs. Lawyers would no longer have an incentive to lower their fees when they begin advertising and if no longer required to specify fee arrangements, many lawyers who now advertise would increase their fees.

In the consumer advocate's argument, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

A The first is a generalization that the consumer advocate accepts as true; the second is presented as a consequence that follows from the truth of that generalization.  

B The first is a pattern of cause and effect that the consumer advocate argues will be repeated in the case at issue; the second acknowledges a circumstance in which that pattern would not hold.  

C The first is pattern of cause and effect that the consumer advocate predicts will not hold in the case at issue; the second offers a consideration in support of that prediction.  

D The first is evidence that the consumer advocate offers in support of a certain prediction; the second is that prediction.  

E The first acknowledges a consideration that weighs against the main position that the consumer advocate defends; the second is that position.
