Commentator: Certain simplistic economic models suggest that as more people compete for jobs in any field, wages will fall. But as more people become interested in watching a professional sport, the salaries of that sport's athletes tend to rise. So, professional athletes’ salaries do not fit these simplistic economic models.

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

A. The simplistic economic models suggest that as revenues in an industry increase, salaries in that industry will rise.

B. Increases in numbers of people interested in watching a professional sport lead to increases in revenue for the organizations that mange and promote that sport.

C. Increases in numbers of people interested in watching a professional sport lead to increases in the number of athletes competing for employment in that sport.

D. The wages of nonathletes’ jobs in certain professional sports have fallen as more people have become interested in watching those sports.

E. Professional athletes' salaries will continue to rise as long as sources of revenue, such as television rights, for the organizations that manage and promote that sport continue to increase.

Historian: in a territorial dispute in the mid-1700's, Ulmia's navy sought to capture merchant shipping entering and leaving Crinica's ports for four years until the result of dispute was in Ulmia's favor. It has been assumed that this blockade was crucial to the outcome, but quantitative data refute this assumption: analysis of shipping records shows that over the course of the blockade, only one in six merchant ships attempting to enter or leave Crinican ports were actually captured by Ulmia.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the historian's interpretation of the data?

A. Crinica had no means of preventing Ulmia from blockading its ports.

B. Prior to the blockade; the vast majority of ships entering or leaving Crinica's ports were owned by residents of Crinica itself.

C. Only a relatively small proportion of Crinica's overseas trade was with Ulmia prior to the blockade.

D. The volume of Ulmia's overseas trade with countries other than Crinica was not significantly affected during the period of the blockade.

E. The number of ships captured each month increased sharply in the latter stages of the blockade as Ulmia greatly expanded its blockade force.

Logic Gap类型的Assumption题
前提A-->B, 结论C-->非B（也可以是B，都可以）。Gap是A和C之间的Logic Connection。
此题中：
Job Competition Up-->Salary Down
People Watching Up-->athletes’ salary Up
答案一定同时包括Job Competition和People Watching关键词或者等价关键词。

A. 有Salary，Revenue和Salary不等同，没有People Watching和Job Competition，错。
B. 只有people watching，Revenue和Salary不等同，没有Job Competition，错。
C. 有people watching和competing for employment，后者等价于Job Competition。留下。
D. 有people watching和wages of nonathletes’,等价于非“athletes’ salary”，没有Job Competition，错。
E. 有“athletes’ salary”，没有Job Competition和People Watching，错。

这种Logic Gap题很有可能不需要再理解选项意思，就把关键字找出来就能完成答题。
这种题一般出题者怎么迷惑考生呢？
三种套路：
1. Key Logic Component缺失。（ABDE）
2. 引入跟Logic Connection无关的那个Component （ADE，都有athletes’ salary这个非Key Logic Component）
3. 偷换概念，往往容易混淆的关联概念 （AB,引入了Revenue这个跟Salary关联的无关概念）
4. 对Key Logic Component取“非” （D，此处没有对Key Logic Component取非，取非的是跟Logic Connention无关的athletes’ salary ）
其中，1、2、3是错误选项常用套路，4是隐藏正确选项常用套路。

带着这个learning，我们再看一遍选项。
A. The simplistic economic models suggest that as revenues in an industry increase, salaries in that industry will rise.
B. Increases in numbers of people interested in watching a professional sport lead to increases in revenue for the organizations that mange and promote that sport.
C. Increases in numbers of people interested in watching a professional sport lead to increases in the number of athletes competing for employment in that sport.
D. The wages of nonathletes’ jobs in certain professional sports have fallen as more people have become interested in watching those sports.
E. Professional athletes' salaries will continue to rise as long as sources of revenue, such as television rights, for the organizations that manage and promote that sport continue to increase.
