16.   Essayist: Wisdom and intelligence are desirable qualities. However, being intelligent does not imply that one is wise, nor does being wise imply that one is intelligent. In my own experience, the people I meet have one or the other of these qualities but not both.

If the essayist’s statements are true, them each of the following could be true EXCEPT:

(A) Most people are neither intelligent, nor wise.

(B) Most people are both intelligent and wise.

(C) No one is both wise and intelligent.

(D) No one is either wise or intelligent.（D）

(E) Many people are intelligent and yet lack wisdom.

Why choose D? I think it's wrong?

What's your opinion?

况天佑

题干中说了In my own experience, the people I meet have one or the other of these qualities but not both.

也就是说D答案“没有人是既智慧又聪明的”与题干是一致的

既然题目问的是EXCEPT，那这个答案必然是正确答案

弱弱地问：

I think B is not consistent with what the author states,so I chose B.因为作者认为没有人同时具备智慧和聪明的啊？

“being intelligent does not imply that one is wise, nor does being wise imply that one is intelligent”意思是，两者中任何一个出现都不能推出另一个一定存在，但是可以因为其他原因使两个同时存在（只是不是由intelligent 或wise推出的），所以意思与B不矛盾。

I understand now!Thanks!

我还是不明

作者的意思是：有的人有智慧，有的人聪明，但是他很少碰到两者兼有的，也就是说既聪明又智慧的人很少。题目问得是，如果作者是正确的，下面哪句话是不正确的，即与作者意思相反的。

A大多数人既不聪明也不智慧

B大多数人既聪明又智慧

C没有一个人是既聪明又智慧的

D没有人既聪明又智慧

E许多聪明人缺少智慧

所以我认为，从提干看，明显与作者相反的判断应该是B，因为作者强调的是既聪明又智慧的人很少。

况天佑

不，你想想，作者说他碰到的人都是（而不是很少碰到），那么从作者的推理看，他没有碰到的或许是大多数人，那么选项中大多数两者兼有当然也是Could be true的，但是没有人两者兼有，那肯定和作者的推理相悖，因为作者说他碰到的就没有两者兼有的啊，所以B选项不应该选，而D才是最佳选项

In fact, option d is in conflict with the statement, 'In my experience, the people i met have one or the other of these qualities but not both.'

Option d = ~(wise v intelligent) = ~wise and ~intelligent. That is to say, if x is a human being, then x is neither wise nor intelligent.

再问一下，c和d的区别？

C implies three possible situations:

1. the situation described by D.
2. If x is a human being, he is wise but not intelligent.
3. If x is a human being, he is intelligent but not wise.
