10. In order to pressure the government of Country S to become less repressive, some legislators in Country R want to ban all exports from R to S. Companies in R that manufacture telecommunication equipment such as telephones and fax machines have argued that exports of their products should be exempted from the ban, on the ground that it is impossible for a country to remain repressive when telecommunication equipment is widely available to the population of that country.

 

Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument given by the manufacturers depends?

 

A.        The government of S has recently increased the amount of telecommunication equipment it allows to be imported into the country.

B.        The telecommunication equipment that would be imported into S if the exemption were to be granted would not be available solely to top development officials in S.

C.        A majority of the members of R’s legislature do not favor exempting telecommunication equipment from the ban on exports to Country S.

D.       Of all exports that could be sent to Country S, telecommunication equipment would be the most effective in helping citizens of S oppose that country’s repressive government.

E.        Without pressure from Country R, the government of S would be able to continue repressing its citizens indefinitely.

The correct answer is B.

请NN指点一下为什么选B么？能把这个中文意思说一下子么？

我试一下
原文的意思是说：R国想通过禁止所有产品出口到S国  ，用以使S国become less repressive
而R国的manufacture telecommunication equipment
    Companies说他们应该不受R国制定的这个禁令
因为一个国家（这里暗指S国）不可能repressive对于一个已经widely available to the population的telecommunication equipment（黑体字是关键）
所以B说not be available solely to top development officials in S就正好是那些公司的假设

大家一起讨论，我今天才做完该题，一起看看吧

10. In order
to pressure the government of Country S to become less repressive, some
legislators in Country R want to ban all exports from R to S. Companies in R.Manufacturers that manufacture
telecommunication equipment such as telephones and fax machines have argued
that exports of their products should be exempted from the ban, on the ground
that it is impossible for a country to remain repressive when telecommunication
equipment is widely available to the population of that country.

    

Q: Which one of the following is an assumption on which the
argument given by the manufacturers depends?
 
So we should focus on the manufacturer’s argument.
                

 C: exports of their products should
be exempted from the ban,

 E: it is impossible for a country to remain
repressive when telecommunication equipment is widely available to the
population of that country

    
    

首先应明了Manufacturer’s
argument 的前提（E）有两个事物即1，通讯设备可为人民所有；2，S国家减少压迫；结论(C)中一个事物：该通讯设备不应被禁。在论证中，C与 E之间没有明确表现出必然的联系,即有一个空挡。所以必须弥补这个空挡，弥补此空挡的必然联系就是C成立的一个假设。
                

    

即如果不禁止通讯设备的出口，那么通讯设备就可进口到S国并为人民所有.

选项B中“该设备不仅仅为S国顶层官员所有”与“为人民所有”意思一致。
