A thing is "nauseous" if it makes one sick to the stomach; the unfortunate victim of this malaise is "nauseated" . the common misuse of "nauseous" can be illustrated with the following sentence: "When he sits too long, turns his head too abruptly, or walks any distance, he gets dizzy, loses balance, and becomes nauseous." He doesn't become nauseous unless he turns other people's stomachs; he becomes nauseated. A person who is nauseated is no more nauseous than a person who has been poisoned is poisonous.

8. Based on the passage above, which phrase does NOT provide a logical completion to the following sentence? A person who is nauseated is no more nauseous than a person who has been_______.

(A) murdered is murderous
(B) corrupted is corruptible
(C) awed is awesome
(D) irritated is irritating
(E) scared is scary

8、During the 1980s the homicide rate in Britain rose by 50 percent. The weapon used usually was a knife. Potentially lethal knives are sold openly and legally in many shops. Most homicide deaths occur as a result of unpremeditated assaults within the family. Even if these are increasing, they （指代these，即the unpremediated assaults）would probably not result in deaths if it were not for the prevalence of such knives. Thus the blame lies with the permissiveness of the government that allows such lethal weapons to be sold.


E直接weaken了原文的推理，指出不是由于the prevalence of such knives导致the increase in the unpremeditated assaults within the family


我开始误选D，多么愚昧。文章明确提到unpremeditated assaults。

I have a point of view a little different from host ecsniffer.


E    informs that    if    the knives is prevelent, the prevelance    is not caused by permissiveness of goverment, but by its essential trait. Otherwise it will not be prevelent.
