急救两道逻辑结论题！

When a polygraph test is judged inconclusive, this is no reflection on the examinee. Rather, such a judgment means that the test has failed to show whether the examinee was truthful or untruthful. Nevertheless, employees will sometimes refuse to hire a job applicant because of an inconclusive polygraph test result.

Which of the following conclusions can most properly be drawn from the information above?

a.      most examinees with inconclusive polygraph test results are in fact untruthful

b.      polygraph tests should not be used by employers in the consideration of job applicants

c.      an inconclusive polygraph test result is sometimes unfairly held against the examinee

d.      a polygraph test indicating that an examinee is untruthful can sometimes be mistaken

 

 

Advertisement: today`s customers expect high quality. Every advance in the quality of manufactured products raises customer expectations. The company that is satisfied with the current quality of its products will soon find that its customers ate not. At MegaCorp, meeting or exceeding customer expectations is our goal.

Which of the following must be true on the basis of the statements in the advertisement above?

A.    MegaCorps competitors will succeed in attracting customers only if those competitors adopt MegaCorps goal as their own

B.     A company that does not correctly anticipate the expectations of its customers is certain to fail in advancing the quality of its products

C.     MegaCorps goal is possible to meet only if continuing advances in product quality are possible

第一题答案是c,我想知道d为什么不对？

第二题答案是c,我想知道b为什么不对？我个人觉得c更像假设，而不像结论题

请各位高人指点一下，感激不尽！

first,

A polygraph test indicating that an examinee is untruthful can sometimes be mistaken. In this time, that means polygraph test's result is defined as conclusive one, that is negative, rather then inconlusive result mentioned in the argument.

second is another conlusion pattern question to answer.

In the argument, it says that meeting or exceeding customer expectations is our goal.

Then C is the answer that means M will try their best to advance the quality in their products if it is possible.

B is wrong since it says that if you do not focus on anticipating the expectations of its customers , it is doomed to fail in advaning the quality improvement. It is certainly convert the sequence of the logic thread.

谢谢版主！不过我第一个题还不是很明白，能不能用汉语给我解释一下涅？嘿嘿

简单说就是d中说的A polygraph test indicating that an examinee is untruthful是conclusive的，而文中一直在讲inconclusive test result,所以d不能从原文中推出

清楚明白，谢谢！

我觉得d选项不是conclusive,such a judgment means that the test has failed to show whether the examinee was truthful or untruthful，这句话的意思是说，根据测谎仪显示结果，不能判断出被测人是诚实的还是不诚实，也就是说没有结果。明显和D差异很大。所以D的错误原因不是因为它是conclusive.而是原文没有support(og解释)
