[求助]一道GWD逻辑

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?

 

1. Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.
2. The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects.

答案B，我知道只有选B，可还是不明白，不知如何理解，哪位高手解读一下？

按照GWD方法，cd和直接淘汰，a因为not the only表达不清直接淘汰，所以只比较be，对比原文b的相关性大于e。

The president has cancelled some highway projects. Some critics alleged that the president did this to punish the opposition parties because 90% of these cancelled projects were located in the opposition parties' legislative districts. However, the cancelled projects were identified as wasteful in a report by nonpartisan auditors. Thus, the president did this not because of politics but because of economics.

Two different groups of projects: the group of projects which have been cancelled by the president(GC); the other which were identified as wasteful in the auditors' report（GW）. The relationship between GC and GW: GC belongs to GW. GW can be divided into two categories in terms of politics: those located in the president's districts (GWP)and those located in the opposition parties' districts(GWO). According to the same standard, GC can be divided into GCP and GCO.
Now we've already known GCP:GCO=1/9
B means that GWP:GWO <or= 5：5 If we negative B, we have GWP:GWO >or=5:5.

心宝点点

试试not+weaken方法吧

如果加上否定，那么大部分高速都建在总统选区，自然削弱了文中论断。因为总统不再公正。所以选B吧~~

不知对不对，还望斟酌。
