请教两个逻辑题干中经常用的说法！

啊喂我是蚊子

1、an objection that the argument rejects 怎么理解呢？一个文章不支持的反对？

EX：Last year a record number of new manufacturing jobs were created. Will this year bring another record? Well, a new manufacturing job is created either within an existing company or by the start-up of a new company. Within existing firms, new jobs have been created this year at well below last year's record pace. At the same time, there is considerable evidence that the number of new companies starting up will be no higher this year than it was last year, and surely the new companies starting up this year will create no more jobs per company than did last year's start-ups. Clearly, it can be concluded that the number of new jobs created this year will fall short of last year's record.

In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A The first is a prediction that, if accurate, would provide support for the main conclusion of the argument; the second is that main conclusion.
B The first is a prediction that, if accurate, would provide support for the main conclusion of the argument; the second is a conclusion drawn in order to support that main conclusion.
C The first is an objection that the argument rejects; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.
D The first is an objection that the argument rejects; the second presents a conclusion that could be drawn if that objection were allowed to stand.
E The first is a claim that has been advanced in support of a position that the argument opposes; the second is a claim advanced in support of the main conclusion of the argument.
那么在这个例子中，argument反对的观点是不是没有出现呀？


2、the position being opposed是什么意思呀？（在argument中）被反对的观点？
EX：A prominent investor who holds a large stake in the Burton Tool Company has recently claimed that the company is mismanaged. As evidence for this claim, the investor cited the company's failure to slow production in response to a recent rise in its inventory of finished products. It is doubtful whether an investor's sniping at management can ever be anything other than counterproductive, but in this case it is clearly not justified. It is true that an increased inventory of finished products often indicates that production is outstripping demand. In Burton's case it indicates no such thing, however: the increase in inventory is entirely attributable to products that have already been assigned to orders received from customers.

In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
A The first provides evidence to support the conclusion of the argument as a whole; the second states that conclusion.
B The first states the conclusion of the argument as a whole; the second states an intermediate conclusion that is drawn in order to support that conclusion.
C The first is the position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second provides evidence against the position being opposed.
D The first states an intermediate conclusion that is drawn in order to support the conclusion of the argument as a whole; the second states the conclusion of the argument as a whole.
E The first and the second both state intermediate conclusions that are drawn in order to support jointly the conclusion of the argument as a whole.在这个例子中，被反对的观点是“公司被错误地管理了”，right？

第一题，an objection that the argument rejects：作者反对的一个反对。也就是说这个objection本身是反对 ...

谢谢！！说的好清楚 明白了！

第一题，an objection that the argument rejects：作者反对的一个反对。也就是说这个objection本身是反对一个东西的，然后作者又反对了这个objection.这道题的逻辑都是顺的，没有任何的反对，所以CD都是错的。

第二题，根据对第一句话The first is the position that the argument as a whole opposes，这个position是作者反对的，第二句话提供了证据来反对这个position。

the company is mismanaged 是一个position，然后 this case it is clearly not justified也是一个position,而且还是作者自己的position。

这个逻辑是先提出别人的看法，然后作者通过证据来反对别人的看法。也就是你说的被反对的观点是“公司被错误地管理了”
