Several of a certain bank’s top executives have recently been purchasing shares in their own bank.This activity has occasioned some surprise, since it is widely believed that the bank, carrying a large number of bad loans, is on the brink of collapse.Since the executives are well placed to know their bank’s true condition, it might seem that their share purchases show that the danger of collapse is exaggerated.However, the available information about the bank’s condition is from reliable and informed sources, and corporate executives do sometimes buy shares in their own company in a calculated attempt to calm worries about their company’s condition.On balance, therefore, it is likely that the executives of the bank are following this example.



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



A.The first describes the circumstance the explanation of which is the issue that the argument addresses; the second states the main conclusion of the argument.

B.The first describes the circumstance the explanation of which is the issue the argument addresses; the second states a conclusion that is drawn in order to support the main conclusion of the argument.

C.The first provides evidence to defend the position that the argument seeks to establish against opposing positions; the second states the main conclusion of the argument.

D.The first provides evidence to support the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second states a conclusion that is drawn in order to support the argument’s main conclusion.

E.Each provides evidence to support the position that the argument seeks to establish.

Occasion v.引起
C中 oppose 错误，文章的结论并没有试图反驳，而只是折中描述了一个事实

？？A前半句是什么意思，能否把句子给解释一下，看不懂啊！！！

还有，有没有NN能解释一下circumstance在Bf题中到底是个什么含义

还有，有没有NN能解释一下circumstance在Bf题中到底是个什么含义.

我个人理解是，这个是事实，Several of a certain bank’s top executives have recently been purchasing shares in their own bank 也是这个讨论的大环境。 后面分析为什么在财务状态不好的情况下出现top cxo的股票回购。

occasion： An occasion is a time when something happens, or a case of it happening.
An occasion is an important event, ceremony, or celebration

建议查完中文解释还是看看英文，并不是每个中文解释都那么贴切。
希望有帮助

主要是C中的defend the position that the argument seeks to establish against opposing positions这句话不好理解吧.....排除BDE，当时就想搏一搏，结果选错了........

A: 第一个BOLDFACE是一个本段想要提出解释的情况，第二个BOLDFACE是中心思想。

A的前半句其实就是解释这个argument讨论的大环境是什么。讨论的是什么情况

結論只能有一個，現象(或狀況)不一定要起支持作用，他可以只是一個事實陳述。

那这个状况是属于论据还是结论呢？我怎么理解说状况既不是论据也不是结论啊？

cdwayne

argument要解釋的"狀況"
