GMAT 逻辑分析题 (15)

放肆的小狂可

Oh, I see.... So we can't just find the answer which seems to be no problem in logic, we must think about the real topic and the core point

Dear SDCAR, having read this question for serveral times, I still believe E is sound.

Since E states that if a bill gets passed, then there is at least one supporter. If we conversenegate E, we will get "if none of the leaders support the bill, then the bill will not get passed", which parallels the argument.

I do not doubt the correctness of C, but I also think E provides a solid support for the conclusion.

Good questions. Let's do an analysis of the answer choice E).
E) Most bills at the National People’s Congress, which have been passed into law, were supported by at least one leader of the ruling party.

Your analysis is ALMOST right, except that you forgot that there is a modifier MOST in the argument. When there is a modifier of MORE, MOST, LESS, LEAST in an statement, generally speaking there is NO contrapositive statement thereof. This is simply the nature of logics which require a clearcut line of YES or NO.

Therefore, we can ONLY use the answer choices in their NORMAL way of saying.
