GWD21-Q28: 傻傻的问

 GWD21-Q28:

    

Since it has become known that several of a bank’s top
executives have been buying shares in their own bank, the bank’s depositors,
who had been worried by rumors that the bank faced impending financial
collapse, have been greatly relieved. 
They reason that since top executives evidently have faith in the
bank’s financial soundness, those worrisome rumors must be false.  They might well be overoptimistic,
however since corporate executives have sometimes bought shares in their own
company in a calculated attempt to dispel negative rumors about the company’s
health.

    

 

    

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

    

 

    

1. The
        first summarizes the evidence used in the reasoning called into question
        by the argument; the second states the counterevidence on which the argument
        relies.
2. The
        first summarizes the evidence used in the reasoning called into question
        by the argument; the second is an intermediate conclusion supported by
        that evidence.
3. The
        first is an intermediate conclusion that forms part of the reasoning
        called into question by the argument; the second is evidence that
        undermines the support for this intermediate conclusion.
4. The
        first is an intermediate conclusion that forms part of the reasoning
        called into question by the argument; the second is the main conclusion of
        the argument.
5. The
        first is an intermediate conclusion that forms part of the reasoning
        called into question by the argument; the second states a further
        conclusion supported by this intermediate conclusion.这道题怎么看都是B, 答案怎么是啊A?

看了一些讨论， 试着总结一下
首先明确一个概念，能做evidence的一定是客观存在，不能是主管能动,主管能送可以是reason.
原文的简化LOR:    因为高管买股票（evidence), 投资者认为高管这么做是因为对公司有信心（intermediate conclusion），所以投资者释然了（main conclusion supposed to be opposed by author).   因为有可能高管扮猪吃老虎(reason)，所以投资者过分乐观（main conclusion).  
ANS: D  
其他选项的方向不正确。、

sth wrong with the ans?

我没有做过这个题目,但是觉得A是对的呀。你说说为什么不对呢？

文章如是说
银行高管对银行的股票进行回购，人们对银行倒闭的传言也就随之驱散。人们的理由是那些高管在银行很有威望和信誉（连他们都买自己的股票），那些谣言肯定是不真实的。人们过分乐观了呀，但是那些高管只是算计着用回购股票这招驱散对银行健康发展不利的谣言。

选项A说，1是正面，2 是说反面。。。很对呀。。。
选项B说， 2是对1的支持。。。好像不是很对呀。。。
请NN指点

2 is a position that the arguer holds, i think, so could be called intermedia conclusion, but there 's no evidence.

我的答案是D 啊

但是我也选A

应该是D

A.      The first summarizes the evidence used in the reasoning called into question by the argument; the second states the counterevidence on which the argument relies.  第二个不是证据，而是作者的结论，也是全文的结论

D：    The first is an intermediate conclusion that forms part of the reasoning called into question by the argument; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.

答案是D

想问第一个BF，since后面不是论据吗（evidence）D的说法是说第一个BF是提出下面质疑的中间结论 这里不太明白（虽然A的第2个BF解释是错误的）

盼NN指点

top executives evidently have faith in the bank’s financial soundness 当然是 several of a bank’s top executives have been buying shares in their own bank 所推出的结论。

你仔细看看，高管对银行有信心 如何可以成为证据。证据是要客观事实的。
