GWD5-Q3:**

The average hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland has long been significantly lower than that in neighboring Borodia.Since Borodia dropped all tariffs on Vernlandian televisions three years ago, the number of televisions sold annually in Borodia has not changed.However, recent statistics show a drop in the number of television assemblers in Borodia.Therefore, updated trade statistics will probably indicate that the number of televisions Borodia imports annually from Vernland has increased.

Wage in V比in B低。B对V的X不设关税，且X产品在B的销售无变化。数据表明B生产的X下降。推出从V的进口增加。

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

A.The number of television assemblers in Vernland has increased by at least as much as the number of television assemblers in Borodia has decreased.

B.Televisions assembled in Vernland have features that televisions assembled in Borodia do not have.

C.The average number of hours it takes a Borodian television assembler to assemble a television has not decreased significantly during the past three years.

D.The number of televisions assembled annually in Vernland has increased significantly during the past three years.

E.The difference between the hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland and the hourly wage of television assemblers in Borodia is likely to decrease in the next few years.

灰色背景部分是我自己分析的题干。但是我不明白类似这样的Assumption题，是如何确定答案的？
请指教！谢谢

如果硬是用无关法来推出答案还是可以推出来的。

但是我不明白正确答案是怎么个正确法。请高人指点~谢谢！

原题
人少了--〉产的少了

人的数量少了，但是单位人的产量是不是可以变高？

“数据表明B生产的X下降。”应该是B的组装工人数下降，加上“效率不提高”这个条件才能推出结论的成立。

我明白了。

我是把assembler看成了assemble呢。

感谢楼上两位的解释！

前提：
1）B地组装电视工人的hourly wage较高（The average hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland has long been significantly lower than that in neighboring Borodia）
2）B地电视年销量不变（the number of televisions sold annually in Borodia has not changed）
3）B地电视组装工人的数量下降了 （a drop in the number of television assemblers in Borodia）
结论：
B地一年从V地进口的电视数量增加（the number of televisions Borodia imports annually from Vernland has increased）

assumption属于演绎题型的一种, 结论是待评论的。怎样能够得出结论呢？结合论据2）电视总销量不变，如果B地自己组装的电视数量下降，就能得到结论：进口电视数量增加。怎样能得到结论2）B地自己组装的电视数量下降呢？仅靠题干的论据1）（无关）和3）B地组装电视的工人少了（不充分）是得不到这个结论的，因此结论和论据之间有gap，找到能够消除gap的选项就是正确选项。

A V和B地组装工人的数量增减和结论2）无关
B V和B地电视组装的feature和结论2）无关
C B地电视组装工人组装一台电视的平均时间没有大幅地减少，正确，说明在一年内每个工人组装的电视数量不变或者减少了，结合论据2），工人又少了，可以推出B地自己组装的电视数量下降
D V地组装的电视数量，无关
E V和B地组装工人的工资差距，无关

这个题我每次看都会有两个地方卡住。

1）“因为三年前B已经撤销了对V国电视机的全部Tarriff，所以B国电视机年销售量一直不变（has not been changed. 是这样翻译么？）。” 这句话的因果关系我不懂。

然后我继续想，为什么要在这里说这个因果关系呢？主要想说“年销售量不变”。那这个“因为”又从何说起呢？

2）第一句谈论工资，从整体上来看，好像跟这道题是完全没有关系的是么？ 但是题干是在build up一个argument，好少见到一句完全没用的话哦，为什么要有这句话，很费解。

所以这道题在看到头两句话之后我已经被完全从题目重点给distract了，看了后面的真正部分就很懵，怎么都没想懂这前前后后的关系，于是就在这道题上倒下了。其实我看了解释完全理解答案以及完全理解其他为啥错，可是问题第一次看这道题的时候，没有时间想这么多呀···

有没有NN可以帮忙分析一下这段话的题干么? enlighten me一下? 这个题现在还在OG12上，就说明它还是经过了考验的。。。。。

自己顶一下~

我来enlighten你一下
1）since 是"自从"的意思，不是"因为"的意思
2）工资确实没关，别被它distract
