Q9:

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 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts.  But all of the canceled 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.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary’s argument depends?

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

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

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

The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the President’s party were not generally more expensive than the projects canceled in districts controlled by opposition parties.

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

我认为就是选 b

批评家说总统取消反对党所在州的一些项目是出于党派目的， 总统发言人说有些无党派人士也把这些项目的90%列为浪费，所以得出结论总统做法是正当的。b中说无党派人士没有把总统所控制的州的大部分项目也列为浪费。 把b取非， 就可以削弱。假如无党派人士没有把总统所控制的州的大部分项目也列为浪费，而总统只是取消反对党控制州的项目，很明显处于党派考虑嘛
