96. Prominent business executives often play active roles in United States presidential campaigns as fundraisers or backroom strategists, but few actually seek to become president themselves. Throughout history the great majority of those who have sought to become president have been lawyers, military leaders, or full-time politicians. This is understandable, for the personality and skills that make for success in business do not make for success in politics. Business is largely hierarchical, whereas politics is coordinative. As a result, business executives tend to be uncomfortable with compromises and power-sharing, which are inherent in politics.

Which one of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the proposed explanation of why business executives do not run for president?

A.    Many of the most active presidential fundraisers and backroom strategists are themselves politicians.
B.    Military leaders are generally no more comfortable with compromises and power-sharing than are business executives.
C.    Some of the skills needed to become a successful lawyer are different from some of those needed to become a successful military leader.
D.    Some former presidents have engaged in business ventures after leaving office.
E.    Some hierarchically structured companies have been major financial supporters of candidates for president.

答案B
选了A,看了以前的讨论说是A无关，可是A说这些人其实也是政治家不正好weaken了结论（他们不喜欢政治里头的compromises and power-sharing）
反而我觉得B是无关的，Military leaders不comfortable和 business executives没什么关系啊

求教～

if "Military leaders are generally no more comfortable with compromises and power-sharing than are business executives. " and they can be great politicians,
why can't business executives?

但是有这个可能性，不代表一定是一样

A我没看出来，但是D我倒是觉的优点意思。
不过看过答案在一想，既然选举是之后的venture那么就未必是success venture。
既然milliter leader本身都普遍带有这种性质，那么就不能解释executive leader自己不去参加竞选这个现象，也就不能解释现象。
要看weaken的是什么。OK？

之前选错是认为，题目解释business executives不参加总统竞选是因为不喜欢politics中一套套
那么他们本身已经是politican（但不参加竞选）可以weaken题目的假设

今天又看了看题目，发现A说的是presidential fundraisers and backroom strategists，并不是business executives，所以是无关。

至于D，我认为并不是success与否的原因，而是D选项并不在题目讨论的范畴内

（ps为啥每次我回复中有一大堆乱码>_<)

但是题目中的第一句就说“business executives often play active roles ...as funderaisers or backroom strategies"

那就说明A选项中的presidential funderaisers与题目中的business exexcutives 是对等的啊

我也错选A，我还是觉得A能够直接削弱……

我觉得这道题应该这么理解。
衡量标准是：comfortable with compromises and power-sharing
原文给出的用来解释few actually seek to become president themselves的explanation是：business executives < politicians
B选项给出的是：Military leaders (politicians) <= business executives，所以weaken这个explanation

只能说文章说的business executives都属于fundraisers或者strategists
而不是所有的fundrasiers或者strategists都是business excutives

ralachen

排掉A后，B的确是最能削弱“uncomfortable with compromises and power-sharing,”这个解释的选项

谢谢大家啦～
