It is absurd to claim that whatever democratic activity the government does not support it does not allow. As a proof, one can see the absurdity in the rephrased version of the claim: No one is allowed to pursue democracy without a government support.
Which one of the following exhibits a pattern of reasoning that most closely parallels that in the argument above?
(A) The notion that every student who has been supported by a Hope Scholarship will become a rising star is absurd, because if you rephrase the statement you will have: No student is going to become a rising star without a Hope Scholarship. (B) The claim that any husband who is not divorced from his wife does not have an extramarital affair is absurd, because if you rephrase the statement you will have: Every husband who gets divorced has had an extramarital affair. (C) The notion that every artist who is funded by a government grant will be famous is absurd, because if you rephrase the statement you will have: No artist who is famous is so without a government fund. (D) The notion that every athlete who is supported by a scholarship will be exceptional is absurd, because if you rephrase the statement you will have: No athlete without a scholarship support will be exceptional. (E) The claim that any husband who is not divorced from his wife does not have extramarital affair is absurd, because if you rephrase the statement you will have: Every husband who has an extramarital affair gets divorced.
《原文》
premise: if not support, not allow.
conclusion: if not support, not allow.
《选项》
conclusion: if not divorced, not have affair.
premise:
B:if divorce, have affair. =>逆否:If not have affair, not divorce.
E:if affair, divorce.=>逆否:if not divorce, not have affair.
E is correct, since its 逆否=原文。
对不起!我又回头看了sdcar的解释,终于明白了。
我已开始没想通原句的No one is allowed to pursue democracy without a government support. (双重否定就等于肯定),所以等于 If a democracy is allowed to be pursued, then that democracy must have government support.

E is the answer, right?E is more strictly parallel if saying like this :"The claim that any husband ...
楼上,你说的“because if you rephrase the statement you will have: No husband who has an extramarital affair is not divorced from his wife," while "every husband who has an extramarital affair gets divorced" has the same meaning.”就是:
not affair→not divorce,so affair→divorce
E选项确实是原命题和逆否命题的关系,所以同真同假。
但是题干给的例句并不是原命题和逆否命题的关系啊:not support → not allow;not support→not allow。是完全一样的啊。
E选项是:premise:affair →divorce;conclusion:not divorce→ not affair。
