662. Sascha: The attempt to ban parliament's right to pass directed-spendingbills—bills that contain provisions specifically funding the favorite projects of some powerful politicians—is antidemocratic.Our nation's constitution requiresthatmoney be drawn from our treasuryonly when so stipulated by laws passedby parliament, the branchof government most directly representative of the citizens. Thisrequirementis basedon the belief that exercising the power to spend public resourcesinvolvesthe ultimate exercise of state authority and that therefore

_________.

Which of the following most logically completesSascha's argument?

A.  designating fundingspecifically for the favoriteprojects of some powerful politicians should be considered antidemocratic

B.  the right to exercisesuch a power should belongexclusively to the branchof government most directly representative of the citizens

C.  exercising the power to spend public resourcesis in most cases—but not all— protected by the constitution

D.  modifications to any spendingbills should be considered expenditures authorized by law

E.  only officials who are motivated by concernsfor reelection should retain that power

请问这个用Helr的方法怎么看呢 感觉很绕。。

P1: Money be drawn from the treasury ----> stipulated by laws passed by parliament

P2: ( P1 ) ----> exercising the power to spend public resources involves the ultimate exercise of state authority

lets combing P1 and P2

Money be drawn from the treasury ---- > exercising the power to spend public resources involves the ultimate exercise of the state authority

and Sasha said: The attempt to ban parliament's right to pass directed spending bills, which favor politicians is anti-democratic

Truly Democratic -> Not ban parliaments's right ( Parliament does have the right to stipulate the law ) ----> exercising the power spend public resources involves ultimate exercise of the state authority.

找結論

A. Mistaken Negate  ( Should not be considered anti democratic )

B. { The right ( money be drawn from our treasury ) 充分條件 } should be belong exclusively { to the branch of government most directly representative of the citizens ( When so stipulated by laws passed by parliament, the branch of government directly representative of the citizens ) 必要條件 } 正確答案。

C. we only know that banning the bills of spending public resources which favors politician is against democracy, but we do not know wether any other of the bills of spending public resources being exercised are being protected or not being protected by the constitution.

D. Not to any, but to the spending bills that favor some politicians.

E. Reelection ? C'mon, we have not even mentioned about the elections nor how to retain the power within the argument

关键是读懂，并且要有一点民主主义背景知识。


我尝试翻译一下：
尝试去禁止议会通过定向支出法案的权利，这些定向支出法案中规定了特殊地提供资金给一些强大政治家们喜欢的项目，这种尝试是不民主的(因为国会才是人民的代表)。我们国家的宪法【要求】：议会是政府分支里最能直接代表民众的，只有当被议会通过的法律规定可以从国库提取资金时，才能从国库提取资金。这个【要求】是【基于】这样一个理念：行使使用公众资源的权力涉及到动用国家权威(民主主义下国家是民众所拥有的)，因此，_____(必须由民主来决定)。（实际上就是【必须由paliament pass】的premise）

看了前面的人的回复，我反思一下：主要突破点就是要知道state authority是包含citizen的权利的【做题的时候我也没想到】

有这个权利去决定要不要花这笔钱的power中，是包含state authority的。然后citizen是state authority的一部分，因此如果民主的话，citizen就有这个权利来决定。既然parliament是代表citizen的，那么parliament就得有这个权利来决定。

[简单来说就类似民主是让老百姓当家做主，现在你不让老百姓做决定，那算什么民主？]

我的解题思路是这样的：

首先读懂发言者的态度。第一句关键词to ban....is antidemocratic. 所以发言人不希望这一句话说的内容被禁止。这一句说的内容是什么呢？内容是parliament pass bill, 这个bill是对势力政客有好处的。读完很长的第一句，发现是结论，也找到了作者的态度。
下面就是论据解释第一句。第二句解释了parliament的重要性，重点“most directly representative of the citizens”。
第三句进一步解释第二句，大概就是说，为什么要支持parliament所做出的决定，不要否认他们。

我觉得这题，最重要是要仔细读懂发言者的态度。第一次读的时候，看见project favoriate poweful politician，就自动带否定态度，但其实发言者是支持的（这种理解就会马上错选a）。还有就是注意第二句"requires"和第三句的"requirement",看出第三句在进一步解释第二句。选项就很明了了。

另外一个takeaway，题目非常长，最好把插入语先拿出来，读框架，插入语不能不读，对理解文意非常有帮助。这里有两句，分别是第一句的破折号里面的，和第二句的”the branch of government most directly representative of the citizens“。

很多人用”论据1“”论据2“啥的去解释，我觉得考试行不通，对第二语言考生来说，这一题理解文意和态度比题里的逻辑更难。请大家多指正。

根据你解释的写的逻辑键?
