[求助]GWD7-Q38 请路过的大牛们解答一下

GWD7-Q38:

Journalist:  Well-known businessman Arnold Bergeron has long been popular in the state, and he has often talked about running for governor, but he has never run.  However, we have just learned that Bergeron has fulfilled the financial disclosure requirement for candidacy by submitting a detailed list of his current financial holdings to the election commission.  So, it is very likely that Bergeron will be a candidate for governor this year.

The answer to which of the following questions would be most useful in evaluating the journalist’s argument?

 

A.      Has anybody else who has fulfilled the financial disclosure requirement for the upcoming election reported greater financial holdings than Bergeron?

B.      Is submitting a list of holdings the only way to fulfill the election commission’s financial disclosure requirements?

C.      Did the information recently obtained by the journalists come directly from the election commission?

D.      Have Bergeron’s financial holdings increased in value in recent years?

E.       Had Bergeron also fulfilled the financial disclosure requirements for candidacy before any previous gubernatorial elections?

我选的B，可答案是E，想不通，有大牛帮忙解释一下么？不胜感激。

个人理解：

B选项：如果submitting a list of holdings是唯一一种报名(fulfill the election commission's financial disclosure)方式的话，那Bergeron很有能要参加竞选，support结论。反之，如果不是，那也许有可能是为了其他事情而这样做，结论就不能成立，起到weaken的作用。

E选项：如果Bergeron以前也submitting a list of holdings，那现在这样做就不能说明他有可能要参加竞选，weaken结论。反之，以前没做过，现在做了，也不能保证Bergeron有可能参加竞选，即不能起到support结论的作用。

因为对Evaluation题目答案的解释应该要起到support和weaken两方面的作用，所以B选项看起来更像正确答案。

请大家发表意见。

个人认为fulfill the election commission's financial disclosure 与will be a candidate for governor 更relevent一点， 也就是说 by submitting a detailed list of his current financial holdings to the election commission. 只是fulfill the election commission's financial disclosure的一种方法
不知道对不对

个人理解：

B其实是无关选项，submitting a list 无论是不是唯一的报名方式，和他参加不参加选举无关。就算是唯一的方式，我submit了，但我也可以不参加啊

E选项，看以前有没有SUBMIT过，如果以前也submit过，那就是削弱，反之则加强

分析B选项：如果submit是唯一方法，那submit可以加强他参加选举的可能性，但是如果不是，这只是参加fulfill requirements的方式之一，这个人也还是通过这个方法去满足requirements了，也可以加强他参加选举的可能性，都是加强，不对
