23. On a certain day, nine scheduled flights on Swift Airlines were canceled. Ordinarily, a cancellation is due to mechanical problems with the airplane scheduled for a certain flight. However, since it is unlikely that Swift would have the mechanical problems with more than one or two scheduled flights on a single day, some of the nine cancellations were probably due to something else.
The argument depends on which one of the following assumptions?
A.More than one or two airplanes were scheduled for the nine canceled flights.
B.Swift Airlines has fewer mechanical problems than do other airlines of the same size.
C.Each of the canceled flights would have been longer than the average flight on Swift Airlines.
D.Swift Airlines had never before canceled more than one or two scheduled flights on a single day.
E.All of the airplanes scheduled for the canceled flights are based at the same airport.
参考答案:A 采用取非法。
思路:否定More than one or two airplanes were scheduled for the nine canceled flights.将削弱作者的结论。
A:取非削弱
B:无关。
C:无关。
D:无关。
E:无关。
不是很理解。
题目说了nine scheduled flight on SA were canceled,也就是说这9架飞机都是were scheduled,而不是其他were not scheduled。
答案A,more than 1 or 2 airplanes were scheduled for the 9 canceled flights,强调这9架被取消的飞机里多于1-2架的是were scheduled,这不是重复前提吗!有什么意义,干嘛说答案A是assumption???
