Q25:
Scientists typically do their most creative work before the age of forty.It is commonly thought that this happens because aging by itself brings about a loss of creative capacity.However, a study has found that almost all scientists who produce highly creative work beyond the age of forty entered their fields late and less than a dozen years before their creative breakthroughs.Since creative breakthroughs by scientists under forty also generally occur within a dozen years of the scientist’s entry into the field, the study’s finding strongly suggests that the real reason why scientists over forty rarely produce highly creative work is not due to age but rather because most have spent too long in their fields.

In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

1. The first is the position that the argument as a whole defends; the second is evidence that is advanced as part of that defense.
   
2. The first and second are both claims that have been advanced in support of a position that the argument as a whole opposes.
   
3. The first is an explanation that the argument challenges; the second provides evidence in support of a competing explanation that the argument defends.
   
4. The first is an explanation that the argument challenges; the second is evidence that has been used against an alternative explanation that the argument defends.
   
5. The first is an explanation that the argument defends; the second is evidence that has been used to challenge that explanation.
   为什么是C？我选了E！
   challenge有什么不一样么？

【一个现象】Scientists typically do their most creative work before the age of forty. 【前一个现象的解释】It is commonly thought that this happens because aging by itself brings about a loss of creative capacity.【一个转折的现象，否定之前的解释】 However, studies show that of scientists who produce highly creative work beyond the age of forty, a disproportionately large number entered their field at an older age than is usual. 【转折部分的解释】Since by the age of forty the large majority of scientists have been working in their field for at least fifteen years, the studies’ finding strongly suggests that the real reason【主结论】 why scientists over forty rarely produce highly creative work is not that they have aged but rather that 【真正正确的主结论的解释】scientists over forty have generally spent too long in their field

谢谢啊！！
感觉如果是argument的结论的话，那差不多都是argument favor 了？因为作者都是往自己的结论来 ...

一个argument中可能会存在多个结论，其中有一个反结论是作者要反驳的，其后是作者的反驳依据以及基于反结论的主题提出了新的结论，所以整个argument的结论是作者所支持的结论，而不可能是反结论

想问一下这里面的argument favor 和argument challenges。这里面的argument 怎么找？是整个题目？还是包含 ...

argument 是作者推出其结论的过程，所以整个文段的conclusion一定是作者所支持的观点，而到底是defend还是challenge就看和作者的结论是否一致，关键就是准确找到作者所支持的结论，也就是整个argument的结论

我开始做OG的BF基本没做对过
后来按着这种思路去分析做GWD就顺手很多
