16.    Instead of blaming an airline accident on pilot error, investigators should find out why the error was made by analyzing airplane design, airline management, and pilot-training programs. For only then can changes be made to ensure that the same type of error does not recur and cause another accident.

Which of the following is a presupposition of the argument above?

(A) Pilot error is not a contributing factor in most airline accidents.

(B) Airline companies themselves should be the agents who investigate airline accidents.

(C) Stricter government regulation of airline companies will make air travel significantly safer.

(D) Investigators of airline accidents should contribute to the prevention of future accidents.

(E) Most pilots who make errors in flying will repeat their errors unless they are retrained.

为什么不能选E要选D

14.    The president of a consulting firm analyzed the decisions made about marketing by her clients and concluded that the decisions were correct only about half of the time.

The conclusion above depends on the presupposition that

(A) companies can be successful even when about half of the decisions they make about marketing prove to be wrong

(B) companies hiring her consulting firm make no more incorrect marketing decisions than do companies in general

(C) executives consistently making correct marketing decisions rarely enlist the aid of a consulting firm

(D) marketing decision are just as likely to be correct as they are to be incorrect

(E) it is possible to classify a marketing decision properly as being either right or wrong

答案释E可以解释一下CD为什么错,和为什么选E,谢谢

16. By picking E, you are assuming that the author champion the idea that investigation should ensure that the pilots are retrained to prevent future accidents. However, that is not what the argument is about. Where can you read that? Pilot training program? It is a program to train people to be pilot.

14. It is an assumption question. C and D are not relevant. Assumption is required condition, which has to be right for the condition to hold. I think you will understand why C & D are incorrect once you know why E is correct. E is required for the conclusion to be properly drawn. If a marketing decision can not be classified as correct or incorrect, the conclusion that half of the conclusions are correct would not hold because since there is no correct or incorrect for marketing decisions, we cannot say what percentage is correct.

Suggestion: pls read some introductory articles on CR before you dive into questions. Of course it does not mean you have to read some book on CR. I never read any article or book explaining CR. It is all about understanding and learning. When you work on any question, whether CR or SC, learn from it. Get the point and know why.

It seems that you are eager to learn So good luck!

mindfree真乃牛人也。16题retrain和 traning program看出区别的话，其实E是个无关项。
