高手请进lsat-22-2-23如何排除这个assumption选项

mzyzhu

Magazine editor: I know that some of our regular advertisers have been pressuring us to give favorable mention to their products in our articles, but they should realize that for us to yield to their wishes would actually be against their interests. To remain an effective advertising vehicle we must have loyal readership, and we would soon lost that readership if our readers suspect that our editorial integrity has been compromised by pandering to advertisers.

Advertising-sales director: You underestimate the sophistication of our readers. They recognize that the advertisements we carry are not articles, so their response to the advertisements has never depended on their opinion of the editorial integrity of the magazine as a whole. 23.

The magazine editor's argument assumes which one of the following?

(B) The magazine cannot give any favorable mention in its articles to its regular advertisers without compromising its reputation for editorial integrity

(C) Favorable mention of their products in the magazine's articles is of less value to the advertisers than is the continued effectiveness of the magazine as an advertising vehicle.

Key: C. 请教大牛们是如何排除B的。2瓷都错了。

先确定一下文章的逻辑，开始说一味的迎合广告客户的要求实际是不利于广告客户的，然后后面所做的说明则是以“To remain an effective advertising vehicle ”为主旨的，可见迎合客户远远不如“To remain an effective advertising vehicle ”对客户来得更有利。
B说的太绝对了，文中说的和这个意思有出入，文中的意思是，如果这样，会被读者怀疑是如何如何，而不是实际上...

有点意思。能加个not再说一下吗？

什么意思呢？

此题超难，试着解释一下：
啄着的观点：
they should realize that for us to yield to their wishes would actually be against their interests.

否B推出：杂志可以在不妥协的条件下，对其广告做有利的评价
否C推出：即使做了有利的评价，广告商的利益是暂时的，而不是长远的

所以，C应是该结论的假设

大家都也讨论一下，看有无更好的解释。

否C推出：做了有利的评价，广告商的利益是长远的
C推出：即使做了有利的评价，广告商的利益是暂时的，而不是长远的
所以，C应是该结论的假设

好象可以再分析一下

非常感谢2 位的精彩解释。在牛人的指引下，我自认为在该题的理解上了一个层次。献丑一下。如果不对还希望各位指教：

I know that some of our regular advertisers have been pressuring us to give favorable mention to their products in our articles,这前补句话，是现象。
but they should realize that for us to yield to their wishes would actually be against their interests. 这后半句话，是整个文章的结论。
To remain an effective advertising vehicle we must have loyal readership, and we would soon lost that readership if our readers suspect that our editorial integrity has been compromised by pandering to advertisers. 这句话，是支持结论的论据。（boldface是不是就这么想出来的）

Loyal readership是remain an effective advertising vehicle的必要条件。但是如果我们favorable mention their products in our magazine, 我们就会失去Loyal readership这一remain an effective advertising vehicle的必要条件。这一逻辑关系可简化为：favorable mention their products in our magazine ==〉advertising vehicle will NOT be effective.

但时，这一推理跟结论 that for us to yield to their wishes would actually be against their interests.还有一个差距：如何由(1)现象：客户要求favorable mention their products和(2)论据advertising vehicle will NOT be effective推到结论against their interests。C能补上这一差距。Favorable mention of their products in the magazine's articles 不如 continued effectiveness of the magazine as an advertising vehicle复合advertiser的利益。加not能证明这一点。

答案B: The magazine cannot give any favorable mention in its articles to its regular advertisers without compromising its reputation for editorial integrity之所以不是答案的原因在于它没有在(1)现象(2)论据和结论之间建立起一个桥梁。因此即使加了not也不能削弱(1)现象(2)论据==〉结论这一推理。B充其量只是强调了论据的重要性。因此不是答案。

建议斑竹将该题的讨论列为精华贴。
