The panic touched off by Orson Welles’s 1938 radio broadcast of the science-fiction classic War of the Worlds has often been the ascribed to the lingering anxieties of the Depression era and apprehension about the a second world war; political and economic unease supposedly made people psychologically prepared to believe that Earth had been invaded by Martians.

Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the attempt above to explain the panic of 1938?

(A) Film adaptations of War of the Worlds are generally regarded as less realistic than Welles’s radio version.

(B) Rebroadcasts of Welles's War of the Worlds during times of peace and economic optimism have on occasion resulted in similar panics.

(C) The 1898 publication of the novel on which the radiobroadcast of War of the Worlds was based resulted in no public disturbances.

(D) Even after the invasion depicted in the 1938 radio broadcast had been widely publicized as fictitious, some people maintained that they had seen the Martian invaders.

(E) Some people who had not listened to the 1938 radio broadcast were nonetheless caught up in the resulting panic.

Comparative ads, which compare and advertised products with a competing product, generate fewer favorable attitudes towards the ads than do noncomparative ads. A likely explanation is that users of the competitor brand see the comparison as an attack on their favorite brand, causing them to either disparage the source of message or mentally argue against message content. Therefore, comparative ads are ineffective, and likely to be detrimental as vehicles for product promotion.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

A Comparative ads do not base their comparisons on objective facts.

B Consumers that have unfavorable attitudes to comparative ads are usually not persuaded by those ads to buy the product advertised.

C Positive or negative attitudes of consumers toward an ad do not always transfer to the product advertised.

D Noncomparative ads are generally effective vehicles for product promotion.

E Users of competing products mentioned in the comparative ads are influenced by the ads to buy more of those products than they otherwise would.

1. Weaken B
Panic（）被归因于anxiety（）政治和经济的unease让人们认为Earth被Martian入侵了 削弱对1938Panic的解释       
B peace和economic optimism时候也有类似的Panic 说明和war/unease 无关       
2. Assumption B
CA没有N-CA好，可能因为：其他品牌的消费者认为比较是攻击，于是disparage 或 argue against广告内容。
Conclusion: CA是无效的，对product promotion有害
A CA不会根据客观事实做比较，客观事实对结论的影响不明确，取反也不能削弱       
B 有unfavorable态度的人就不会买广告里的商品，取反削弱CA无效       
C 削弱了，attitude对商品无用       
D 讲N-CA，assumption要基于内容来看，讨论的是CA 不是N-CA       
E 买更多其他的商品无关

2、竞争性广告不受欢迎、招致竞争品牌的反驳，因此竞争性广告不利于提高销量。
问assumption
思考：因果论证，考虑搭桥或者排除他因削弱。

A：竞争性广告不会客观比较。是否客观比较都不影响结论。
B：对竞争性广告持不负面态度的消费者不会被这些广告说服去购买。正确，取非，如果去购买了就提高销量了。
C：对于一个广告的正面或负面态度，不会转为对这个产品的正面或负面态度。取非，如果会转化，那竞争性广告确实不利于提高销量，反而加强了结论，所以这个选项方向反了。
D：非竞争性广告可以提高销量。无关。
E：竞争性广告中产品的消费者会被广告影响，从而买更多。方向反了。
