再问L28-3-23
Questions 22~23
Whenever she considers voting in an election to
select one candidate for a position and there is
at least one issue important to her, Kay uses the
following principle in choosing which course of
action to take: it is acceptable for me to vote
for a candidate whose opinions differ from mine
on at least one issue important to me whenever I
disagree with each of the other candidates on
even more such issues; it is otherwise
unacceptable to vote for that candidate. In the
upcoming mayoral election, the three candidates
are Legrand, Medina, and Norton. There is only
one issue important to Kay, and only Medina
shares her opinion on that issue.



23. According to the principle stated in the
passage, in the upcoming mayoral election
(A) it is acceptable for Kay to vote for either
Medina or Legrand, but it is unacceptable for her
to vote for Norton.
(B) the only unacceptable coursed of action are
for Kay to vote for any of the candidates.
(C) it is unacceptable for Kay to vote for any of
the candidates.
(D) the only unacceptable course of action is for
Kay to vote for Medina.
(E) it is acceptable for Kay to vote for any of
the candidates.


Answer is B; Why D is not right?


深海的小美人鱼的解释：
题目是说the course of
action is acceptable :候选人在至少一个重要问题问题上和她的意见相左是可以接受的， 如果她更不同意其他的候选人意见。否则unacceptible。那也就是说如果她的意见和那人相同或者其他的候选人的意见她不见得更不同意的话，就是 unacceptible。


现在M和她意见相同。因此是unacceptible.


My question is: 现在M和她意见相同。因此是unacceptible正好说明了D, 但是如果D正确，B必然正确；I am confused;

Vote for M is unacceptible, but not the only one; voting for either of the other two candidates is also unacceptible (as in the statement: "... whenever I disagree with each of the other candidates on even more such issues;").

whenever I disagree with each of the other candidates on even more such issues;"). 我的理解是：在这个问题上和谁的分歧越大就越应当投谁的票；难道it is acceptible to vote either L or N不对吗？因为2个人都和他在important issue上有分歧, 所以都有可能大一点或小一点, I am puzzled；D errs to claim the "only". I see. Thanks

请问睡熊，为什么我每次碰到两个混淆项时，就紧张但时间紧迫，所以只好以50%的概率选一个。你有什么方法吗？我的速度是40~48分钟一个Set.

这题我以前问过。好像就是小鱼解释的。后来查了大全，发现此题有printing mistakes. 建议用大全搜索一下，你自然就会明白了。

我的理解是：可以投票支持一位异见候选人，只要不存在与K分歧点更少的其他候选人存在。such issues = key issues, 指分歧点的多少，不是分歧的深度。L或N虽然跟K有一个分歧点，但由于存在与K观点更接近的候选人存在（M），所以不可接受投票给他们。
不能投票给M是由于他跟K没有任何分歧点，不符合“a candidate whose opinions differ from mine on at least one issue important to me ”。

同命相连。感觉可能需要提高阅读精确度吧。

贴出的题目好像有错。

(D) the only unacceptable course of action is for Kay to vote for Medina（B）

我认为睡熊前半部分理解是对的。

ecsniffer

it is acceptable for me to vote for a candidate whose opinions differ from mine
on at least one issue important to me whenever I disagree with each of the other candidates on even more such issues.It is otherwise unacceptable to vote for that candidate.



最后的that candidate应该指 a candidate whose opinions differ from mine


所以这整句话讨论的范围都是a candidate whose opinions differ from mine


这里并没有说意见一致的人不支持呀


所以，选择B。


the only unacceptable courses of action are for Kay to vote for Norton and for her to vote for Legrand


意思也就是说，只知道Norton和Legrand是不可以支持的，因为在重要事情上不存在比他们分歧更大的候选人。


至于支不支持Media，maybe or maybe not。


for further discussion!
