77.   (30553-!-item-!-188;#058&005527)

Citizensof Parktown are worried by the increased frequency of serious crimes committedby local teenagers.  In response, thecity government has instituted a series of measures designed to keep teenagersat home in the late evening.  Even if themeasures succeed in keeping teenagers at home, however, they are unlikely toaffect the problem that concerns citizens, since most crimes committed by localteenagers take place between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.
Whichof the following, if true, most substantially weakens the argument?
A.Similar measures adopted in other places have failed to reduce the number ofteenagers on the streets in the late evening.
B.The crimes committed by teenagers in the afternoon are mostly small thefts andinconsequential vandalism.
C.Teenagers are much less likely to commit serious crimes when they are at homethan when they are not at home.
D.Any decrease in the need for police patrols in the late evening would not meanthat there could be more intensive patrolling in the afternoon.
E.The schools in Parktown have introduced a number of after-school programs thatwill be available to teenagers until 6 p.m. on weekday afternoons.


我咋觉得C也挺对的呢，还有E，是无关还是啥啊？？

E是开设了课程，但是孩子们未必会参加；C差不多就是无关吧，题干中是关注3-6点的情况

C咋个无关法啊？？主要目的不就是减少serious crimes么？不过唯一别扭的是后边的状语  when they are at home，是不是变成在家犯罪了？？？

alanuonuo

对啊，在家也会犯罪的话，就完全跟题意不符合了吧？

orchidq

但要是这么说的话，题目直说大家对teenager犯serious crimes的频率升高而担心，也没说是不是人家在家犯的啊，我晕啊晕啊！！！！

同问C选项！

sorryself

C选项不是support吗?
Teenagers不在家比较容易犯罪，那3:00pm~6:00pm不在家不就support这方案没用吗?

同意LS~~~

我是觉得这题应该是填补GAP类的题吧，citizen concern的问题是 serious crimes 犯罪率上升；而作者argue的是most crimes，因此答案选B，将这个GAP进一步说明。
