OG12 CR 89 求赐教！！！
89. Since it has become known that several of a bank’s top executives have been buying shares in their own
bank, the bank’s depositors, who had been worried by rumors that the bank faced impending fi nancial collapse,
have been greatly relieved. They reason that, since top executives evidently have faith in the bank’s fi nancial
soundness, those worrisome rumors must be false. Such reasoning might well be overoptimistic（conclusion）, however, since
corporate executives have been known to buy shares in their own company in a calculated attempt
to dispel negative rumors about the company’s health.
In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
(A) The fi rst describes evidence that has been taken as supporting a conclusion; the second gives a reason
for questioning that support.
(B) The fi rst describes evidence that has been taken as supporting a conclusion; the second states a contrary
conclusion that is the main conclusion of the argument.
(C) The fi rst provides evidence in support of the main conclusion of the argument; the second states that
conclusion.
(D) The fi rst describes the circumstance that the argument as a whole seeks to explain; the second gives the
explanation that the argument seeks to establish.
(E) The fi rst describes the circumstance that the argument as a whole seeks to explain; the second provides
evidence in support of the explanation that the argument seeks to establish.

答案选A，我选D。我做这类题的时候一般是先找出Conclusion，我觉得“Such reasoning might well be overoptimistic ” 这句是conclusion，因为这是作者的观点，但是如果按照这样来做为什么A说第一个boldface是支持conclusion的？是不是我找错conclusion了？如果是这样conclusion在哪里？另外D为什么不对？

第一个conclusion说的是depositor他们自己的conclusion。

受楼上启发我又仔细得读了OG的解释，感觉搞懂了这道题。这里关键是对explanation的理解，乍一看DE选项，会以为题目的意思是BF2给出了对作者的结论的解释，但这样翻译就把主语和宾语弄反了。结合DE选项对BF1的描述就可以知道，explanation在这里是指“如何解释高管买股票这件事”。那么DE选项的含义就是，BF2是作者对这件事的解释，并且是seek to establish的，也可以理解成conclusion。但根据原文可以看出，作者认为BF2是高管买股票的一种可能的解释，并非100%的肯定，至少不是conclusion。所以排除DE选项。

我又读了好几遍，觉得一开始选D是没读懂第二条的英文意思：
the second gives the explanation that the argument seeks to establish.
——并不是argument seeks to establish the explanation，反了。
正确应该是the explanation seeks to establish the argument.

怎么会是论证去establish 解释呢
应该是通过解释来论证自己的观点
主语和宾语反了！

看了好几遍Og的解释，终于恍然大悟。D选项错误有2出，都是围绕2nd bf的：（1）认为大众解读过于乐观并不是整个argument seeks to establish的内容，整个para的结构是高层持有股票—arguement 1/argument 2，author没有takes sides，不是推翻1同意，只是客观阐述；（2）直接翻译这个bf是说“高层持有股票是因为大家都知道他们会在某些时刻持有股票以对抗negative news”...逻辑有问题吧。。所以排除D/E

为什么D是错的呢？？？
求大神指点一二啊~~~

leslielles

for OG 13 89, why D is wrong??

if argument could be either "depositors reason that since executives have faith, rumor is false" or "the depositors' reasoning is overoptimistic", then D could also be the choice?

could anyone help explain the problem with D please??
