The sense of delayed gratification, of working now for later pleasure, has helped shape the economic behavior of our society. However, that sense is no longer nurtured as consistently in our children as it once was. For example, it used to take a bit of patience to put together the toys that children got in cereal boxes; now the toys come from the boxes whole.
Which of the following is an assumption of the passage above?

Which of the following is an assumption of the passage above?
A.The toys in cereal boxes have changed partly because the economic conditions of our society have improved. B.The influence of promotion gimmicks on the economic behavior of our society has increased over the years. C.The toys that used to come in cereal boxes were put together by the same children who played with them. D.Part of the pleasure of any toy lie in putting the toy together before playing with it. E.Today's children do not expect a single toy to provide pleasure for a long period of time.
但GWD上答案是C的呀,我也选了D,我也是像LS一样觉得不会搞语法。但是看了答案觉得C解释了一个gap,就是以前的children并不是有些喜欢put toys together,有些喜欢play with it,而是喜欢自己put完了再play,这样才能证明是working now for later pleasure。 而D项说现在还有这种pleasure,代入原文,无法推出文章所说that sense is no longer nurtured as consistently in our children as it once was,所以我觉得D应该不对。 一点拙见,继续等牛牛...
先说一句啊,我不是NN,一战也很低。不过我觉得逻辑题应该不用看那么多的语法部分吧。题中是有一个gap的,也就是 put together toys 和toys come from the boxes ,用这两种行为来解释pleasure。C选项重点是说玩具,而题目中的结论是直接点到pleasure, 也就是说举出的两个例子应该是支持pleasure的.所以考虑相关Pleasure的话只有DE选项,而E选项中的single toy又与原文无关,所以我觉得应该是D。 一点愚见,等着NN补充
