6. Press secretary: Our critics claim that the President’s recent highway project cancellations demonstrate a vindictive desire to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties. They offer as evidence the fact that 90% of the projects cancelled were in such districts. But all of the cancelled projects had been identified as wasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisan auditors.  So the President’s choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics.

問假設:

A Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.

B.The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.

C.The number of projects cancelled was a significant proportion of all the highway projects that were to be undertaken by the government in the near future.

D……..

E.Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessment of government projects.

答案是B嗎

B不正确，怀疑是答案E多加了一个NOT，题目说：有批评指出总统最近取消高速公路项目是出于报复XXX，但是受人尊敬的无党派作家证明被取消的项目都是浪费，所以总统的行为不是报复。

前提应该是：这个作家的证明能被大家接受，有说服力，即作家本身没有党派倾向性

A,B,C都不是前提，E说：反对党通常不认为无党派作家的报告是对政府项目客观的评估。

其实前提应该是：反对党（大众，尤其是反对党）通常认为报告是客观评估。

同意以上解释。当时作的是E，可是答案给的是B，一直不明白为什么。 B就么有什么道理。有点牛头不对马嘴。

对不起，我想错乐，答案是B

前提是，大部分项目都不在总统的控制范围内，所以才会有批评，才会有澄清。

答案E如果没有NOT，也可以成为前提

个人认为这道题比较陷阱，因为B是不言自明的，几乎不应该作为答案出现，而E是大多数人能够想到的。
