OG11-109/110 解题思路和方法

109. Correctly measuring the productivity of service workers is complex. Consider, for example, postal workers: they are often said to be more productive if more letters are delivered per postal worker. But is this really true? What if more letters are lost or delayed per worker at the same time that more are delivered?

The objection implied above to the productivity measure described is based on doubts about the truth of which of the following statements?

a. Postal workers are representative of service workers in general.

b. The delivery of letters is the primary activity of the postal service.

c. Productivity should be ascribed to categories of workers, not to individuals.

d. The quality of services rendered can appropriately be ignored in computing productivity.

e. The number of letters delivered is relevant to measuing the productivity of postal workers.

110. “Fast cycle time” is a strategy of designing a manufacturing organization to eliminate bottlenecks and delays in production. Not only does it speed up production, but it also assures quality. The reason is that the bottlenecks and delays cannot be eliminated unless all work is done right the first time.

The claim about quality made above rests on a questionable presupposition that

(A) any flaw in work on a product would cause a bottleneck or delay and so would be prevented from occurring on a “fast cycle” production line

(B) the strategy of “fast cycle time” would require fundamental rethinking of product design

(C) the primary goal of the organization is to produce a product of unexcelled quality, rather than to generate profits for stockholders

(D) “fast cycle time” could be achieved by shaving time off each of the component processes in production cycle

(E) “fast cycle time” is a concept in business strategy that has not yet been put into practice in a factory

上述两题是不是属于“假设”题？如果是，我感觉它们和我以前做的题有所不同。题目我都看的懂，但是提干却怎么读都读不懂。不知道出题者想要读者做什么？请高人指点迷津。上述两题的提干是要我干什么？类似此类题目的解题思路和方法是什么？

有些像假设，   都是在问段中作者提出观点的“根基”是什么，  其实GMAT逻辑题中题型多了去了，  只是被我们粗略分了个类而已，  

我举个例子，  归纳题中典型分为两部分， 一种是题干充分推选项的， 一种是题干不充分但加强选项的， 答案比较有差别。。

唯一可以把握的，就是直接观点，间接观点，论据， 以及之间的作用关系

谢谢，能帮我解释上述两端提干究竟问的是什么吗？

The objection implied above to the productivity measure described is based on doubts about the truth of which of the following statements?

问的是反对者反对是基于一个什么事实？

110

 是让你找个 questionable presupposition 就是找个假设或者说前提。

明白了吗？

感觉Objection已經在weaken原文了，需要找出onjection依赖的assumption

auflute

实际就是assumption题，需要将选择项取否

如果是问反对者反对是基于一个什么事实，应该表达成：The objection implied above the productivity measure described is based on the truth of which of the following statements. 为什么这里要加doubts about the truth呢？

所以这里应该是解释为：反对"productivity measure"是基于对以下哪个选项的质疑？

欢迎讨论！
