费费逻辑宝典第十题，问题较长，拜托各位耐着性子看一下:

10. In order to pressure the government of Country S to become less repressive, some legislators in Country R want to ban all exports from R to S. Companies in R that manufacture telecommunication equipment such as telephones and fax machines have argued that exports of their products should be exempted from the ban, on the ground that it is impossible for a country to remain repressive when telecommunication equipment is widely available to the population of that country.

Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument given by the manufacturers depends?

A.        The government of S has recently increased the amount of telecommunication equipment it allows to be imported into the country.

B.        The telecommunication equipment that would be imported into S if the exemption were to be granted would not be available solely to top development officials in S.

C.        A majority of the members of R’s legislature do not favor exempting telecommunication equipment from the ban on exports to Country S.

D.       Of all exports that could be sent to Country S, telecommunication equipment would be the most effective in helping citizens of S oppose that country’s repressive government.

E.        Without pressure from Country R, the government of S would be able to continue repressing its citizens indefinitely.

编者的解释：

The correct answer is B.

Do:

        Conclusion: The “what” of an argument

      

In this case:     

In order to pressure the government of Country S to become less repressive, some legislators in Country R want to ban all exports from R to S.

        Evidence: The “Why” of an argument  

In this case:     

It’s impossible for a country to remain repressive when telecommunication equipment is widely available to the population of that country.

我的想法：

对答案没有疑问，但左看右看总认为Conclusion是Companies in R that manufacture telecommunication equipment such as telephones and fax machines have argued that exports of their products should be exempted from the ban。

Evidence是1.R要使S become less repressive —〉 some legislators in Country R want to ban all exports from R to S；

          2. Companies in R that manufacture telecommunication equipment such as telephones and fax machines have argued that it is impossible for a country to remain repressive when telecommunication equipment is widely available to the population of that country.

即：R为了减轻s政府的镇压政策而禁止一切商品出口到S + R的电信厂商认为电信产品的普及会降低镇压政策的存在性——〉电信产品不应该被禁止出口到S

如果按照编者的说法Conclusion：In order to pressure the government of Country S to become less repressive, some legislators in Country R want to ban all exports from R to S.，那么 R的电信厂商认为电信产品的普及会降低镇压政策的存在性，以及电信产品不应该被禁止出口到S 这两点对于结论起什么作用呢？

问题太啰嗦了，但还是恳请大家讨论一下

Conclusion is first sentence.

The first sentence say the thing R is going to do because of trying to alleviate the repressive.

The second sentence say why R should try to alleviate the repressive.This one is premise not conclusion.
