[求助] CXD Assumption 第7题 Three percent is an insignificant portion

白冬冬

Last year,suppor for the social and behavioral sciences represented only about three percent of the govenment's total budget for research fund in the United States.Thus,the particularly sharp reductions imposed on such programs this year seem dictated not by financial constraints but by social philosophy.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the conclusion of the passage above is based?
(A) The government funds allocated for research in the social and behavioral sciences are not sufficient for the work that needs to be done.
(B) The social and behavioral sciences are as valuable as the physical and biological sciences.
(C) The current reductions will stop research in the social and behavioral sciences.
(D) Government funding is the primary source of research money in the United States.
(E) Three percent is an insignificant portion of the government's total budget for research funds.


搜了一下之前没有人问过，故发帖。。。
请问这道题因果之间的关系？
Prem: only three percent
Conclusion: down in number is not by financial constriants
Assumption: three percent is not significant.


表示不太能理解这个逻辑链，求NN解惑。。。。

因果
因：项目只占了政府预算的百分之3
（assumption：但是这百分之3对于这个项目是很少的）

有点明白了... 如果原文写成：such programs this year seem dictated not by government financial constraints but by social philosophy. 可能理解的更容易些 －－是引入了第三方即社会投资。。。

谢谢！
