例3. Since 1945 there have been numerous international confrontations as tense as those that precipitated

the Second World War, and yet no large-scale conflict has resulted. To explain this, some argue that

fear of enormous destruction such as the Second War produced has had a dramatic deterrent effect.

  Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the deterrent theory mentioned above?

(A) After the First World War, the fear of great future destruction was as intense as it was after the Second World War.

(B) Psychologists have determined that the fear of retaliation tends to temper aggressiveness among

human beings.

(C) The Second World War was far less distractive than most people generally believe.

(D) Fear of repeating the levels of destruction that the Second World War produced is as pervasive

today as it was forty years ago.

(E) Many of the international confrontations that have occurred since 1945 have involved countries

that participated in the Second World War.

这题答案给的C，我就实在想不通了，觉得是A

it's A

说白点，议员要见说客只有一个目的：拿钱来。说客要见议员只有一个目的：钱来了，以后请多多关照送钱给你竟选连任的团体。而经费足是竟选的优势之一。

first of all,I have to say no to choice A

we don't know what  is behind the lobbyist and ETS don't need us to know what is behind lobbyist any more.

Choice A just said the santor has more chance to see the lobbyist.But we can not say the more lobbyists you met,the more support you wiil get.ETS doesn't tell us that lobbyist will take back the money and we do not know it either.

even though you met more than lobbyists than someone else ,it can't be conluded that you will get the overwhelming advantaqges than him since we have no idea how many successful cases you got after you meet so many lobbyists.

So choice A is not that sufficient supports the conlusion.

这里再贴最后一个和答案有出入的题，大家讨论：

例4. The excessive number of safety regulations that the federal government has placed on industry poses

more serious hardships for big businesses than for small ones. Since large companies do everything

on a more massive scale, they must alter more complex operations and spend much more money to

meet government requirements.

  Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the argument above?

(A) Small companies are less likely than large companies to have the capital reserve for

improvements.

(B) The operations of small companies frequently rely on the same technologies as the operations of

large companies.

(C) Safety regulation codes are uniform, established without reference to size of company.

(D) Large companies typically have more of their profits invested in other business than do small

companies.

(E) Large companies are in general more likely than small companies to diversity the markets and

products.

帖子上的答案选C，我觉得应该选A

削弱题，是要让做出结论方产生反应

题目说安全条例对大公司难度更大，因为他们规模大，需要更复杂的投资和技术

A说，大公司有更多的资本储备，由此可见，这并不是一件难事了

C 原文承认安全条例是统一的，没有说对大公司不一样，只是说对于同样的条例，大公司实施起来更困难，所以不能削弱，对原结论没有影响

欢迎讨论

这个还没有评价过哦～～看这里～～

为什么说对手也有支持者，就体现不出incumbents的优势了呢？这两者不矛盾吧，选举的双方都获得支持，只是一方多，一方少不就行了，当一方很多是就形成了压倒性优势。所以不是很理解为什么因为对手获得了支持就一定体现不出压倒，继续讨论。。。

这个还要一些解释哦～～

-------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, A is correct.

By the way, just google a little bit. FeiFei's answer to the first question is B. The reason why I didn't want to pick B is that it is so obvious, and it looks like the result rather than the reason.

advantages means A has something useful that doesn't belong to B.At that time ,A has an advantage but B hasn't.

So,when the commitees support A and meanwhile support B in another way,compensating B for subsidy ,the advantage for B disappear.

Advantage is a result of comparison.For sure B got the support from the commitees but so did A.hence ,the overwhelming advantages never comes to be ture and such choice take issue with the argument but support it.

例1. Because incumbent members of Congress are given a great deal of attention by the news media

and because they enjoy such perquisites as free mail privileges and generous travel allowances,

incumbents enjoy an overwhelming advantage over their challengers in elections for the United

States Congress.

  Which of the following, if true, best supports the claim above?

(A) In the last congressional elections, incumbents met with a larger number of lobbyists than did

challengers.

(B) In the last congressional elections, 98 percent of the incumbents in the House of Representatives who were seeking reelection won.

(C) Incumbent members of Congress are frequently critical of the amount of attention given to them

by the news media.

(D) The support that political station action committees provide to challengers for congressional seats often compensates for the perquisites enjoyed by incumbent members of Congress.

(E) Of all incumbent senators surveyed before the last congressional elections, 78 percent said that their challengers did not pose a serious threat to their chances for reelection.

支持：incumbents有优势

原文给出，因为：1有媒体关注 2 有额外补助   所以：有优势

Congress---The national legislative body of the United States, consisting of the Senate and the House of Representatives. 国会美国的立法机构，包括参议院和众议院

所以答案是B没有问题了，这道题也有个了解了～

感谢mbz gg 找到了费费的答案，谢谢gonghao斑斑耐心解答～
