Assumption_GWD-17-Q9请教!!

一直在路上

逻辑区总是没有响应..只好转战于此啦.

1.        GWD-17-Q9
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.

Diagnose:
     

Press secretary: 对我们的指责认为总统对最近高速公路项目的取消表明了对主要由反对党所控制的立法选区的报复性惩罚。他们给出的证据是90%的被cancel的项目都是那个地区的. 但是所有被cancel的项目都被respected的无党派auditor所认定是浪费的. 所以,总统的选择是基于合理的预算政策，而非党派政治之争.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary’s argument depends?

A.       取消项目并不总统用来惩罚反对党控制的立法地区的方式

B.        在report中那些个被认定为浪费的计划项目，并不是总统所在政党控制地区的主要项目
   

C.        这些被cancel的项目占所有被政府安排计划的高速公路项目中很大比例

D.       这些被总统的政党所在地控制的地区所cancel的项目并不比在反对党控制地区被cancel的项目要贵

E.        无党派auditor的报告并不被反对党接受作为一个政府项目客观的评价source

 assumption类型总是如果取非命题不成立的话,就为正确答案,那么对这道题如果说,这些被取消的被认定为浪费的项目是总统政党控制地区的最多项目,so what? 这个结论不成立,可是是如何不成立的呢?

取非：在report中那些个被认定为浪费的计划项目，大部分是总统所在政党控制地区->本应该大部分的cancel项目出现在总统自己的辖区的

可是总统cancel的项目中却大部分在对手的辖区，so...

这里的“公平”取决于两点：样本的选取和对所选样本的甄别，后面这个工作是由中立第三方完成，所以可以保证；答案就是对送评方案的选取上，只有在总量大的情况下百分比大才用可能公平。否则50%才是公平。这题的关键点不再conclusion,而在百分比90%上。
