As part of our program to halt the influx of illegal immigrants, the administration is proposing the creation of a national identity card. The card would be available only to U.S. citizens and to registered aliens, and all persons would be required to produce the card before they could be given a job. Of course, such a system holds the potential, however slight, for the abuse of civil liberties. Therefore, all personal information gathered through this system would be held strictly confidential, to be released only by authorized personnel under appropriate circumstances. Those who are in compliance with U.S. laws would have nothing to fear from the identity card system.

In evaluating the above proposal, a person concerned about the misuse of confidential information would be most interested in having the author clarify the meaning of which of the following phrases?

(A) “all persons” (line 5)

(B) “however slight” (line 7)

(C) “civil liberties” (line 8)

(D) “appropriate circumstances” (line 11)（D）

(E) “U.S. laws” (line 2)

答案选D 

今天刚做完大全的第一个Test，其中的第三题想了好久都没有理清楚。

非常惭愧，对于问题的意思，我还没有理解清楚，所以不知道该如何分析这道题，请好心人，帮忙解释一下，万分感谢

做这道题的时候我这是这么考虑的，问题提示的内容特别重要，我觉得最关键的内容就是the misuse of confidentia information，于是我直接看argument的中关于这部分的内容:Therefore, all personal information gathered through this system would be held strictly confidential, to be released only by authorized personnel under appropriate circumstances. 再看选项和这部分内容重合的就是D，而这个确实是需要author进一步说明的问题，appropriate circumstances到底是哪些情况?这个appropriate是最容易产生漏洞的地方。再看其他几个选项说的都是和题目强调的the misuse of confidentia information无关的内容，所以最后选了D。不知道说明白了没……这个应该属于minor的题型吧，不太常见应该……
