求助OG18-623 有关premise

VicyChiu

Public health expert: Increasing the urgency of a public health message may be counterproductive. In addition to irritating the majority who already behave responsibly, it may undermine all government pronouncements on health by convincing people that such messages are overly cautious. And there is no reason to believe that those who ignore measured voices will listen to shouting.

The two sections in boldface play which of the following roles in the public health expert`s argument?

• AThe first is a conclusion for which support is provided, but is not the argument`s main conclusion; the second is an unsupported premise supporting the argument`s main conclusion.
• BThe first is a premise supporting the only explicit conclusion; so is the second.
• CThe first is the argument`s main conclusion; the second supports that conclusion and is itself a conclusion for which support is provided.
• DThe first is a premise supporting the argument`s only conclusion; the second is that conclusion.
• EThe first is the argument`s only explicit conclusion; the second is a premise supporting that conclusion.
  

我排除了选项E是因为premise ，我理解的是前提的意思

但是第二句我怎么看都不应是作为premise的supporting啊
还是说premise在GMAT中有其他含义呢

在曼哈顿 Guide 6中，对Premise是这样定义的，LZ参考一下：

A premise is information used by the author ...

同意！

在曼哈顿 Guide 6中，对Premise是这样定义的，LZ参考一下：

A premise is information used by the author to support some claim or conclusion. That information may be a fact or an opinion.

其实我读E选项时候可能就不会纠结于premise，直接盯住“supporting that conclusion”了。。。。

---------------------------------
然后这道题，首先第一句话是在摆结论：increase urgency显然不好。然后它说“it” 破坏了政府对这方面的声明承诺，是在说这个increase怎样的不好。所以我觉得是在support the conclusion。

楼主不如说说你认为本段的main conclusion有没有，在哪里？把这个找出来，解决问题会容易点。

个人的一点小意见~
这个题的C显然是第一句：增加公共卫生信息的紧迫性可能适得其反。（意思就是增加紧迫性不好）
下一个黑体字的意思显然是支持这个结论的：它可能会使人们相信这些信息过于谨慎，从而破坏所有政府关于健康的声明。
所以第二个黑体作为promise对论点进行了支持。
