8.                 On the basis of incontestable proof that car safety seats will greatly reduce the number of serious injuries sustained by children in car accidents, laws have been passed mandating the use of these seats. Unexpectedly, it has since been found that a large number of children who are riding in safety seats continue to receive serious injuries that safety seats were specifically designed to avoid, and in the prevention of which they in fact have proven to be effective.

Which one of the following, if true, could by itself adequately explain the unexpected finding reported in the passage?

(A) Many parents are defying the law by not using safety seats for their children.

(B) Children are more likely to make automobile trips now than they were before the introduction of the safety seat.

(C) The high cost of child safety seats has caused many parents to delay purchasing them.

(D) The car safety seat was not designed to prevent all types of injuries, so it is not surprising that some injuries are sustained.（E）

(E) The protection afforded by child safety seats depends on their being used properly, which many parents fail to do.

我覺得b的答案很好,坐車的小孩增加了,傷亡自然也就增加了,錯在哪呢?謝謝

19. Because a large disparity in pay between the public and private sectors has developed in recent years, many experienced and extremely capable government administrators have quit their posts and taken positions in private-sector management. Government will be able to recapture these capable administrators by raising salaries to a level comparable to those of the private sector. In that way, the functioning of public agencies will be improved.

The position taken above presupposes which one of the following?

(A) Experience gained from private-sector management will be very valuable in government administration.

(B) The most important factor determining how well government agencies function is the amount of experience the administrators have.

(C) Unless government action is taken, the disparity in pay between government administration and private-sector management will continue to increase.

(D) People who moved from jobs in government administration to private-sector management would choose to change careers again.（D）

(E) If the disparity in pay between government administration and private-sector management increases, administrators will move to the public sector in large numbers.

我覺得本題的推論句是 "In that way, the functioning of public agencies will be improved."如果推論句真的是這句的話,那答案b是不是比較合理呢?謝謝

This is tricky in the way that the stem asks for an option which can BY ITSELF account for the discrepancy. (B) is a factor in    arriving at    the number of injuries, but it is not the only one,     we must also look at some other things    such as    the enhancement of the safety which    would very well offset (B)'s influence.

if (B)'s wording is like this:


At least one of the factor determining how well government agencies function is the amount of experience the administrators have.


then it is the assumption, see the difference?

我觉得B即使改成那样，还不是很贴切，虽然非常迷惑。因为，文章只说，大量的有经验的XX会改善公共机构的运行，然而并没有说，数量是决定因素，或者说越多越好。

有道理，只是一个影响因素，上文中determing 改为 affecting 更确切。
