GWD4-Q20黑脸

Q20:

During the past year, Pro-Tect Insurance Company’s total payouts on car-theft claims were larger than the company can afford to sustain.Pro-Tect cannot reduce the number of car-theft policies it carries, so cannot protect itself against continued large payouts that way.Therefore, Pro-Tect has decided to offer a discount to holders of car-theft policies whose cars have antitheft devices.Many policyholders will respond to the discount by installing antitheft devices, since the amount of the discount will within two years typically more than cover the cost of installation.Thus, because cars with antitheft devices are rarely stolen, Pro-Tect’s plan is likely to reduce its annual payouts.



In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?



A.The first rules out a certain strategy for achieving a goal; the second presents the strategy that was adopted instead and whose effectiveness the argument assesses.

B.The first is a judgment made in support of a certain conclusion; the second is that conclusion.

C.The first has been used as a consideration to support adopting a certain strategy for achieving a goal; the second reports a decision to adopt an alternative strategy.

D.The first provides evidence in favor of adopting a certain strategy for achieving a goal; the second reports a decision to pursue an alternative goal.

     E.  The first is a consideration offered against adopting a certain strategy for achieving a goal; the second is the main conclusion that the argument is seeking to establish.

答案A....NN来解释一下呗，我选择了C。

The first has been used as a consideration to support adopting a certain strategy for achieving a goal; the second reports a decision to adopt an alternative strategy.
C前半后半说的其实应该是一个strategy,而不是两个。。。。

能不能这样解释。材料的第一句说了公司现在遇到的问题。第一处黑体排除了一种不可能实现的解决方法，第二处黑体介绍了一种被采纳的解决方法。

C中前半句并没有支持那种策略啊

前半句说 公司不可能通过减少汽车保险措施来改变支出过高的状况
 那么在这句中 目的是 改变支出过高
              措施是减少policies  但是这个方法立刻被rule out
后半部分提出 折扣措施 这是一个新的措施 接下来的内容一直实在论它的可行性
