请教OG-91

91. 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, employers 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.
(E) Some employers have refused to consider the results of polygraph tests when evaluating job applicants.
正确答案C我没有疑问,可是D答案总是找不到一个理由来驳斥它, 很困惑, D究竟哪里不正确呢?

D 的问题在与 前半句的假设, 即 A polygraph test indicating that an examinee is untruthful, D假设 the test is untruthful, 而原逻辑为 such a judgment means that the test has failed to show whether the examinee was truthful or untruthful.

个人意见!

D的意思是: the test(indicating that an examinee is untruthful) can sometimes be mistaken. test 的谓语是 can 而不是is.

这个应试者是不是被mistaken你怎么能够从原文推出来那，呵呵，看清楚题目了
文章里没有出现被冤枉的人是否是真的被冤枉，只是说了那些inconclusinve的人如何如何了

it says "... has FAILED to show whether...". and also in D it says "can SOMETIMES be mistaken".

i don't know why D is wrong neither. according to OG's explaination, the only time that D could be wrong is that the "conclusive" results also not reflect the examinee?

D错的原因是: 测慌仪测出受测验者是UNTRUTHFUL这种情况在题干没讲.题干只说INCONCLUSIVE(即POSSIBLY TRUTHFUL OR UNTRUTHFUL).所以不能从题干推出测出UNTRUTHFUL的情况

同意楼上的，简洁明了的解释。

问一下：不选B的原因在于推了两步太远了对吗？

lawyer_1

1。B是建议性的，原文没这层意思。

2。和原文最后一句话相背。

为什么？我就是看不懂这个题到底在讲什么！this is ....这里的this 到地指代什么？按照og自己的语法，这种用法不是错的吗？谁能给翻译一下原题？
