Newspaper editorial:

 

In an attempt to reduce the crime rate, the governor is getting tough on criminals and making prison conditions harsher.  Part of this effort has been to deny inmates the access they formerly had to college-level courses.  However, this action is clearly counter to the governor’s ultimate goal, since after being released from prison, inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates.

 

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

 

1. Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is unlikely to deter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed.
2. Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population.
3. The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released.
4. Taking high school level courses in prison has less effect on an inmate’s subsequent behavior than taking college-level courses does.
5. The governor’s ultimate goal actually is to gain popularity by convincing people that something effective is being done about crime.

此题多次看到，答案是C，但我选A。请哪位能确认下，谢谢。

C

A: not deter anyone but we need themselves deterred

还是不理解：

A的意思是不能学习就不能阻止他犯罪，相当于学习的话就可以阻止犯罪；

C的意思是学习的人不少可能去犯罪，相当于同样可能去犯罪。

文中的假设应该是学习可以阻止犯罪，那就应该是A呀。

还是我的提干理解有问题？
