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?

 

1. Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.
2. The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects.

我是这样理解的，评论说总统否决建高架是出于对反对党的报复，因为90%的提议都是在反

对党管的区域的。但是所有被否决的提议在无党派的审计人员看来都是种浪费。所以总统的

选择是出于预算约束，而非党派问题。

B是不是说，被认作是种浪费的提议不在大部分的由总统党派管辖的区域，也就是说在反对

党管辖的区域，正是基于这个前提，才会有是出于党派问题还是预算问题而反对的讨论。

这样解释对不对啊？

补充一点:

原结论是So the President’s choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics

将B选项取非就是:The projects were controlled by the President’s party.(这句瘦身了),是否就削弱了原结论not partisan politics了呢
