The financial losses last quarter were not caused by the recession. Instead,stockholders and customers were reacting to the news,released last week, that our CEO will soon be brought to trial on charge of fraud.
Which of the following,if true, would most weaken the above claim?
A. Many businesses experienced significant losses last quarter due to the recession. B. The last financial quarter ended more than two weeks ago. C. Other businesses have experienced similar legal trouble without it affecting their finances. D. Stockholders would likely have been suspicious of the CEO long before he was actually charged with fraud. E. Many customers have said that the CEO’s legal troubles have affected their perception of the company. 这道题正确答案是B,因为上星期的news 不可能对two weeks ago的financial 产生影响; 但我想问一下为什么C 不对呢? 如果原文的因果关系是 legal trouble——>financial losses ,那么C不可以看做是 “有因无果”进行削弱吗? 答案给的是C无关,不能理解,求解惑。 感激不尽!!
