我下载的GWD分类，语法跟阅读都有答案，但是做逻辑的时候发觉有部分题答案是隐藏的，但有部分题却没答案，而且正好是我最头疼的BF题，找了找讨论中也没出现，估计是这些题都不难，但是不知道自己做了对不对，只好求助斑竹了，别拿西瓜扔我，谢过

1.         T-4-Q19

Aroca City currently funds its public schools through taxes on property. In place of this system, the city plans to introduce a sales tax of three percent on all retail sales in the city. Critics protest that three percent of current retail sales falls short of the amount raised for schools by property taxes. The critics are correct on this point. Nevertheless, implementing the plan will probably not reduce the money going to Aroca’s schools. Several large retailers have selected Aroca City as the site for huge new stores, and these are certain to draw large numbers of shoppers from neighboring municipalities, where sales are taxed at rates of six percent and more. In consequence, retail sales in Aroca City are bound to increase substantially.

 

In the argument given, the two potions in boldface play which of the following roles?

1. The first is an objection that has been raised against a certain plan; the second is a prediction that, if accurate, undermines the force of that objection.

2. The first is a criticism, endorsed by the argument, of a funding plan; the second is a point the argument makes in favor of adopting a alternative plan.

3. The first is a criticism, endorsed by the argument, of a funding plan; the second is the main reason cited by the argument for its endorsement of the criticism.

4. The first is a claim that the argument seeks to refute; the second is the main point used by the argument to show that the claim is false.

5. The first is a claim that the argument accepts with certain reservations; the second presents that claim in a rewarding that is not subject to those reservations.

1.         T-4-Q32

Delta products, Inc., has recently switched at least partly from older technologies using fossil fuels to new technologies powered by electricity. The question has been raised whether it can be concluded that for a given level of output, Delta’s operation now causes less fossil fuel to be consumed than it did formerly. The answer, clearly, is yes, since the amount of fossil fuel used to generate the electricity needed to power the new technologies is less than the amount needed to power the older technologies, provided that the level of output is held constant.

 

In the argument given, the two boldface portions play which of the following roles?

1. The first identifies the content of the conclusion of the argument; the second provides support for that conclusion.

2. The first provides support for the conclusion of the argument; the second identifies the content of that conclusion.

3. The first states the position that the argument opposes; the second states the conclusion of the argument.

4. Each provides evidence that calls the conclusion of the argument into question.

5. Each provides support for conclusion of the argument.

   T-7-Q17

As a large corporation in small country, Hachnut wants its managers to have international experience, so each year it sponsors management education abroad for its management trainees. Hachnut has found, however, that the attrition rate of graduates from this program is very high, with many of them leaving Hachnut to join competing firms soon after completing the program. Hachnut doe use performance during the program as criterion in deciding among candidates for management positions, but both this function and the goal of providing international experience could be achieved in other ways. Therefore, if the attrition problem cannot be successfully addressed, Hachnut should discontinue the sponsorship program.

 In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?

1. The first describes a practice that the argument seeks to justify; the second states a judgment that is used in support of a justification for that practice.

2. The first describes a practice that the argument seeks to explain; the second presents part of the argument’s explanation of that practice.

3. The first introduces a practice that the argument seeks to evaluate; the second provides grounds for holding that the practice cannot achieve its objective.

4. The first introduces a policy that the argument seeks to evaluate; the second provides grounds for holding that the policy is not needed.

5. The first introduces a consideration supporting a policy that the argument seeks to evaluate; the second provides evidence for concluding that the policy should be abandoned.

 T-9-Q25.
    

Scientists typically do their most creative work before the age of forty. It is commonly thought that this happens because aging by itself brings about a loss of creative capacity. However, a study has found that almost all scientists who produce highly creative work beyond the age of forty entered their fields late and less than a dozen years before their creative breakthroughs. Since creative breakthroughs by scientists under forty also generally occur within a dozen years of the scientists’ entry into the field, the study’s finding strongly suggests that the real reason why scientists over forty rarely produce highly creative work is not due to age but rather because most have spent too long in their fields.

In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

1. The first is the position that the argument as a whole depends; the second is evidence that is advanced as part of that evidence.

2. The first and second are both claims that have been advanced in support of a position that the argument as a whole opposes.

3. The first is an explanation that the argument challenges; the second provides evidence in support of a competing explanation that the argument defends.

4. The first is an explanation that the argument challenges; the second is evidence that has been used against an alternative explanation that the argument defends.

5. The first is an explanation that the argument defends; the second is evidence that has been used to challenge that explanation.

      T-9-Q32.
    

Ecologists: the Scottish Highlands were once the site of extensive forests, but these forests have mostly disappeared and been replaced by peat bogs. The common view is that the Highland’s deforestation was caused by human activity, especially agriculture. However, agriculture began in the Highlands less than 2,000 years ago. Peat bogs, which consist of compressed decayed vegetable matter, build up by only about one foot per 1000 years, and, throughout the Highlands, remains of trees in peat bogs are almost all at depth great than four feet. Since climate changes that occurred between 7,000 years and 4,000 years ago favored the development of peat bogs rather than the survival of forests, the deforestation was more likely the result of natural processes than of human activity.

 

In the ecologist’s argument, the two portions in boldfaces play which of the following roles?

 

1. The first is evidence that has been used in support of a position that the argument rejects; the second is a finding that the ecologist uses to counter the evidence.

2. The first is evidence that, in light of the evidence provided in the second, serves as grounds for the ecologist’s rejection of a certain position

3. The first is a position that the ecologist rejects; the second is evidence that has been used in support of that position.

4. The first is a position that the ecologist rejects; the second provides evidence in support of that rejection.

5. The first is a position for which the ecologist argues; the second provides evidence to support that position.
