Two computer companies, Garnet and Renco, each pay Salcor to provide health insurance for their employees.Because early treatment of high cholesterol can prevent strokes that would otherwise occur several years later, Salcor encourages Garnet employees to have their cholesterol levels tested and to obtain early treatment for high cholesterol.Renco employees generally remain with Renco only for a few years, however.Therefore, Salcor lacks any financial incentive to provide similar encouragement to Renco employees.



Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?



A. Early treatment of high cholesterol does not eliminate the possibility of a stroke later in life.

B. People often obtain early treatment for high cholesterol on their own.

C. Garnet hires a significant number of former employees of Renco.

D. Renco and Garnet have approximately the same number of employees.

E. Renco employees are not, on average, significantly younger than Garnet employees.

答案选C~~~请问为何~~~据我看题目，argument 是说 salcor没有理由让renco的人也去尽早做检查和治疗

garnet 雇的是 renco以前的员工 怎么就weaken这个结论了？？

以前也遇到过这个题目的变体，是说renco的人不用去做检查了，然后是个支持题，选项是因为待在renco的人待的时间很短~~

because it shows even though employees stay fora short time at one company... it impacts the long term at another company... and they will still use the same insurance, thus by testing and obtaining treatment now, it will save money for insurance company in the long run==>weak the argument!

关于这题我还是有点不解...

结论是salcor对在公司R推广测试和治疗没有financial incentive。。要weaken那就找能让s在推广能获利的答案。。

a说的是不能消除stroke的概率。。所以基本是支持。。
b说的是人自己早期治疗。。跟salcor获利无关了。。
d说员工人数一样。。无关。。
e说R的员工不比G的年轻。。原文没提出年龄跟stroke的关系。。

只有c能提供一个能让s获利的情况，也就是R的员工跳槽到G，之前做了的测试和治疗能降低未来的stroke可能。。能节约S的成本。。

暂时不清楚C为何能weaken,先看看其他几个选项。
A. Early treatment of high cholesterol does not eliminate the possibility of a stroke later in life.跟原文相反，

B. People often obtain early treatment for high cholesterol on their own. 自己obtain early treatment,无关，杀

D. Renco and Garnet have approximately the same number of employees.无关，杀

E. Renco employees are not, on average, significantly younger than Garnet employees. R公司的雇员都不比G公司的雇员年轻，作为保险公司还不提供保险？这不就从一个侧面strength了观点吗？

所以。。选C

经你提示就清楚了，多谢。
题干说S鼓励G的员工做检查，这里其实就表明做检查预防重病能够给S省钱。答案要找R员工作检查也能给S省钱的情况。按题干的逻辑就是R员工检查——预防重病——给S省钱。C项情况才能够给S省钱。

我可是考场上想不了这么清楚。。。。
