OG12 CR51, A选项的解释

davidliuscu

51. One variety of partially biodegradable plastic beverage container is manufactured from small bits of plastic
bound together by a degradable bonding agent such as cornstarch. Since only the bonding agent degrades,
leaving the small bits of plastic, no less plastic refuse per container is produced when such containers are
discarded than when comparable nonbiodegradable containers are discarded.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument above?
(A) Both partially biodegradable and nonbiodegradable plastic beverage containers can be crushed
completely ?at by refuse compactors.
(B) The partially biodegradable plastic beverage containers are made with more plastic than comparable
nonbiodegradable ones in order to compensate for the weakening effect of the bonding agents.
(C) Many consumers are ecology-minded and prefer to buy a product sold in the partially biodegradable
plastic beverage containers rather than in nonbiodegradable containers, even if the price is higher.
(D) The manufacturing process for the partially biodegradable plastic beverage containers results in less
plastic waste than the manufacturing process for nonbiodegradable plastic beverage containers.
(E) Technological problems with recycling currently prevent the reuse as food or beverage containers of the
plastic from either type of plastic beverage container.

答案是B, 但是不理解对于A选项的解释，个人认为A选项是无关项，但是不理解GMAC为什么说“To say that biodegradable ones can be completely crushed also is perfectly compatible with saying that they contain less ”

OG解释： A Nonbiodegradable plastic containers can be crushed completely ?  at. To say that biodegradable ones can be completely crushed also is perfectly compatible with saying that they contain less plastic.

A选项的OG解释，是说两种都可以被压成板，和可部分降解容器含更少塑料垃圾是兼容的。这个是直白的翻译，理解一下就是，两种都可以压成板，也可以说明可部分降解容器所含的塑料垃圾更少。这样就是weaken了，而不是strengthen了。

但我觉得也可以理解成无关项，你想啊，都能压成板，能说明什么呢？就像小明和小新都能吃饭，但能说明谁吃的更多吗？一样的道理。

而OG把D说成是无关项，但我觉得OG的解释有点牵强，硬是要说生产过程不是argument所讨论的。所以我认为D可以理解成weaken项，因为这里不是more了，是less。完全反调了。

这种逻辑题目呢，考场上时间紧迫，碰到类似no less这种反着说的内容，把他翻译成正的来理解，这里就翻译成more来理解。就很容易可以选出来B。

关于A选项，莫非是plastic越多，越不容易压碎， 这个是老美说的commen sense,
再看看B选项好像就是说这么个意思。

同问， 看不懂A解释。

今天在纠结这个A选项，还是表示无法理解。

“To say that biodegradable ones can be completely crushed also is perfectly compatible with saying that they contain less plastic.”这句话我是这样理解的：

A Nonbiodegradable plastic containers能被压平，就说明A Nonbiodegradable plastic containers contain less plastic； 那我也可以说A biodegradable plastic containers能被压平， 就说明A biodegradable plastic containers contain less plastic。也就是说A选项对结论既起不到加强也起不到削弱的作用。

我觉得大伙都想复杂了吧。
他不就是说两种材料做的罐子，用过的后成了废料，运到垃圾处理场都能被机器压得很平。这不胡扯吗，跟题目讨论的一点不相关啊！

这题我今天也在琢磨A 顶一下，问问为什么啊？

别啊，学习怎能不求甚解？

A选项OG的解释是说
Nonbiodegradable plastic containers can be crushed completely flat. To say that biodegradable ones can be completely crushed also is perfectly compatible with saying that they contain less plastic.

我理解的中文是Nonbiodegradable能被压平，那么如果说biodegradable也能被压平，则说明他们确实含的plastic比nonbiodegradable少。

这什么逻辑啊？凭什么就一定少呢。顶多说明两者含的一样呗

快来个明白人来解释解释吧。

就当无关好了，什么都没有比较出来。
