the best argument for the tenure system that protects professional emplyment in universities is that it allows veteran faculty to hire people smarter than they are and yet remain secure in the knowledge that unless they themselves are caught in an act of moral turpitude---a concept that in the present climate almost defies definition---the younger faculty cannot turn around and fire them. this is not true in industry.

which of the following assumptions is most likely to have been made by the author of the argument above?

b. if no tenure system existed, veteran faculty would be reluctant to hire new faculty who might threaten the veteran faculty's own jobs.

d. if a stronger consensus concerning what constitutes moral turpitude existed, the tenure system in universities would be expendable.

答案是B。 感觉是“that it allows veteran faculty to hire people smarter than they are " 的转译。
结论是”the tenure system that protects professional emplyment in universities “
其理由是”that it allows veteran faculty to hire people smarter than they are and yet remain secure in the knowledge“
