[求助]11. GWD-30-Q26

1.         GWD-30-Q26

In countries where automobile insurance includes compensation for whiplash injuries sustained in automobile accidents, reports of having suffered such injuries are twice as frequent as they are in countries where whiplash is not covered.  Some commentators have argued, correctly, that since there is presently no objective test for whiplash, spurious reports of whiplash injuries cannot be readily identified.  These commentators are, however, wrong to draw the further conclusion that in the countries with the higher rates of reported whiplash injuries, half of the reported cases are spurious:  clearly, in countries where automobile insurance does not include compensation for whiplash, people often have little incentive to report whiplash injuries that they actually have suffered.

 

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

 

1. The first is a finding whose accuracy is evaluated in the argument; the second is an intermediate conclusion drawn to support the judgment reached by the argument on the accuracy of that finding.
2. The first is a finding whose accuracy is evaluated in the argument; the second is evidence that has been used to challenge the accuracy of that finding.
3. The first is a finding whose implications are at issue in the argument; the second is an intermediate conclusion that has been used to support a conclusion that the argument criticizes.

4. The first is a claim that the argument disputes; the second is a narrower claim that the argument accepts.

5. The first is a claim that has been used to support a conclusion that the argument accepts; the second is that conclusion.  

I chose C, what is the corret answer?

By the way, is there any source for anwers for GWD 33?

I support C

bipedalism

答案的确是C。

不过，我还是没有搞清楚你在题干中红色字体部分：correctly是怎么理解。

这道题我做对了，但是感觉有些似懂非懂的，晕乎乎。

请NN指教。

have correctly argued that since there is presently no objective test for whiplash

说他们正确认为的是这一段，there is presently no objective test for whiplash，intermediate conclusion这一部分。

而结论spurious reports of whiplash injuries cannot be readily identified，被作者认为是错误的
