1. Press Secretary:Our critics claim that the President’s recent highway project cancellations demonstrate a vindictive desire to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.They offer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts.But all of the canceled projects had been identified as wasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisan auditors.So the President’s choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary’s argument depends?

A.Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.

B.The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.

C.The number of projects canceled was a significant proportion of all the highway projects that were to be undertaken by the government in the near future.

D.The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the President’s party were not generally more expensive than the projects canceled in districts controlled by opposition parties.

E.Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects.

没看懂这道题的逻辑考点在哪里...感觉都不相关嘛？谁来解释下？



11. GWD17-Q11:

GWD17-Q11:
Some species of Arctic birds are threatened by recent sharp increases in the population of snow geese, which breed in the Arctic and are displacing birds of less vigorous species.Although snow geese are a popular quarry for hunters in the southern regions where they winter, the hunting season ends if and when hunting has reduced the population by five percent, according to official estimates.Clearly, dropping this restriction would allow the other species to recover.



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



A.Hunting limits for snow geese were imposed many years ago in response to a sharp decline in the population of snow geese.

B.It has been many years since the restriction led to the hunting season for snow geese being closed earlier than the scheduled date.

C.The number of snow geese taken by hunters each year has grown every year for several years.

D.As their population has increased, snow geese have recolonized wintering grounds that they had not used for several seasons.

E.In the snow goose’s winter habitats, the goose faces no significant natural predation.

为啥B undermines the argument?

第二题以前的帖子里有的。
第一题的话，最后的argument使这样的：president惩罚一些地方，是因为这些地方的本身问题，而不是因为这些地方是反对党领导的。

很显然这句话的前提就是这些拿来说问题的地方不是由president,而是由反对党控制的。如果这些地方是president自己的地盘，那secretary就没有办法说这个argument了
