a logical question, plz help me, thanks./大全-11-16

寂寞的自由

3. George Bernard Shaw wrote: " That any sane
nation, having observed that you could provide for
the supply of bread by giving bakers a pecuniary
interest in baking for you, should go on to give a
surgeon a pecuniary interest in cutting off your leg is
enough to make one despair of political humanity."

Shaw's statement would best serve as an illustration
in an argument criticizing which of the following?
(A) Dentists who perform unnecessary dental work
in order to earn a profit
(B) Doctors who increase their profits by specializ-
ing only in diseases that affect a large per-
centage of the population
(C) Grocers who raise the price of food in order to
increase their profit margins
(D) Oil companies that decrease the price of their
oil in order to increase their market share
(E) Bakers and surgeons who earn a profit by sup-
plying other peoples' basic needs


which is the best answer and how about your logical lines about this question? can you tell me why it is right or wrong? Adding that thanks you tell me the exam point through this question.

thanks a lot.

深海的小美人鱼

自由，答案是什么，写一下吧，我还在想这个理解的问题。我一会觉得答案是D，一会觉得是A。

番茄炒蛋

答案是A
比喻这种拔牙是多余的
原文中说的都是做了一件事情就要有回报，例如跺了你的腿你还得给医生钱
那么make one despair of political humanity."得事情就是多拔了你得好牙，你却还得多付钱
牙医太没人性了

那这道题难道不可以理解成你做什么事情都要付出代价
D中你要拥有市场份额，就要降价，就要付出代价吗

支持A,庸俗地讲原则就是不劳而获，腐败bribery，只有AD可能对。
但原文举例用的手段都是增加，而不是减少，排除A

强烈建议标上答案，我们不是做脑筋急转弯，也没那么多时间。以后不标上答案和完整题目的问题，建议大家一律不答。

是要付出代价，但是这个付出是一种错误
D中得这种付出是正确得，要有份额就要降价
那医生没事拔错了你得牙，你还想付钱给他吗，扁他一顿都来不及呢

佩服番茄炒蛋的幽默解答。很清楚。

反肚

D中从profit扯去market share我觉得远了点,和Shaw's statement的联系不大.所以很早就排除了D了.

不知道这个思路对与否?

哈哈哈，我也深表佩服！这样的回答还能让人在CR无尽的晕雾里爽朗大笑，快哉！
