Q32:

Press Secretary:  Our critics claim that the President’s recent highway project cancellations demonstrate a vindictive desire to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.  They offer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts.  But all of the canceled projects had been identified as wasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisan auditors.  So the President’s choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary’s argument depends?

A.      Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.

B.      The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.

C.     The number of projects canceled was a significant proportion of all the highway projects that were to be undertaken by the government in the near future.

D.     The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the President’s party were not generally more expensive than the projects canceled in districts controlled by opposition parties.

E.      Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects.

答案是B，我做的是D，讨论贴上D都是omit 掉的，为什么？ 还有到底选什么啊？

the answer is B

B取非，如果被identify成wasteful的项目大部分是总统所在政党控制的区域，可是被废掉的却都是反对党的，说明总统偏颇。weaken原文。
