OG 2019 BF

A prominent investor who holds a large stake inthe Burton Tool Company has recently claimed that the company is mismanaged,citing as evidence the company's failure to slow down production in response toa recent rise in its inventory of finished products. It is doubtful whether aninvestor's sniping at management can ever be anything other thancounterproductive, but in this case, it is clearly not justified. It is truethat an increased inventory of finished products often indicates thatproduction is outstripping demand, but in Burton's case it indicates nosuch thing. Rather, the increase in inventory is entirely attributableto products that have already been assigned to orders received from customers.

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

(A) The first states a generalization that underlies the position that theargument as a whole opposes; the second provides evidence to show that thegeneralization does not apply in the case at issue.

(B) The first states a generalization that underlies the position that theargument as a whole opposes; the second clarifies the meaning of a specificphrase as it is used in that generalization.

(C) The first provides evidence to support the conclusion of the argument as awhole; the second is evidence that has been used to support the position thatthe argument as a whole opposes.

(D) The first provides evidence to support the conclusion of the argument as awhole; the second states that conclusion.

(E) The first and the second each provide evidence against the position thatthe argument as a whole opposes.

有谁可以帮帮忙解答吗？

OG 出2019 了吗

个人感觉选A吧 首先从第一个黑体句后面的but可以看出，第一个黑体句肯定是与作者观点相反的，所以直接排除C、D，而两个黑体句很明显是相反的观点，排除E，再看AB，第一个黑体句说的是一种一般情况，也就是generalization，AB的前半句都是对的，第二个黑体句说的是对于存货的另外一种解释，也就是对于generalization的一种例外，二就是第一个黑体句中generalization不适用与第二个黑体句所提到的情况。
我也不知道答案是不是这个 仅供参考哈哈哈

选A应该。

从最后那句式：It is true xxx, but xxxx. 基本能看出作者同意了前部分，但在余后否定了另一些部分。从整段逻辑来看亦是如此，所以C,D,E全部排出。C和D讲的是作者肯定，支持了前半段，不符合逻辑；E说的是作者前，后两部分都在否定，故而也是不对的。

B的问题在“Clarify”，这个单词一般不具有否定意味。一般说某人clarify，只是说某人前一句话讲的有些含糊，后一句他clarify一下，表达清楚意思。故而此人的逻辑立场其实是不变的，只不过言辞表达有变化。而这也不符合作者在本逻辑中表达的含义。其次B的小问题中，“specific phrase”指的是什么呢？

相比之下A更符合。

我也感觉选A 前面是普遍适用性规则，中间but话锋一转说这个例子不适用
