support C.

A is too extreme. Let's go to its negative side:

"Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is possible to deter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed."

then, do we know "not being able to take courses" has better effects in reducing re-crime after prison than in preventing crimes? or vice versa？

No, we don't know without futher assumptions. So, we don't know whether the conclusion is valid or not. So, A is not a real assumption.

What is an assumption? An assumption is that if it is not valid, the conclusion MUST not be valid too.

Newspaper editorial:

In an attempt to reduce the crime rate, the governor is getting tough on criminals and making prison conditions harsher.  art of this effort has been to deny inmates the access they formerly had to college-level courses.  However, this action is clearly counter to the governor’s ultimate goal, since after being released form prison, inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates.

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

1. Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is unlikely to deter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed.


2. Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population.


3. The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released.


4. Taking high school level courses in prison has less effect on an inmate’s subsequent behavior than taking college-level courses does.


5. The governor’s ultimate goal actually is to gain popularity by convincing people that something effective is being done about crime.

没有人选E么？However, this action is clearly counter to the governor’s ultimate goal, since after being released form prison, inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates.

怎么我倒觉得是要在counter to the governor’s ultimate goal和政府行为之间架桥啊？

btw，gwd是什么？

痛苦啊， 选错了。应该是c

a中anyone 要换成a significant number of people 就对了。抱歉。

经典的LAWYER 排除它因的ASSUMPTION题啊.

(C)

因果型结论：ASSUMPTION的方法包括：A。不是其他原因或可能导致该结果。B。结合因果：或有因有果或无果无因。C。因果没颠倒。D显示因果关系的资料是准确。

再看(A), 取非, 结论还是可能成立，

（Ａ）取非，意思是:不TAKE COURSE 还是可能(LIKELY) DETER CRIME; 但是如果take course 比dont take course能够在程度上,更加DETER CRIME,结论还是成立.

应该是c吧.

因为c排除了,人和人本身的差异,强调了课程的作用

bluevironika

支持选c。

问的是结论的assumption.

题目结论说：由于不让他们上课，他们出来就容易犯罪.

a说,不让他们上课,不可能阻止他们犯罪.

c说,上课的那些人并不比其他人更少获释后犯罪可能性.

a只是把题目里面的结论重复了一遍.

请指教~~~~~~

为什么不能A和C都对呢？

soloenti

The answer is A  因為他的chose是過去式 而不是will choose  代表已經上過課were not already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released

cattsky

C的意思不是和原文相反吗?怎么能做假设呢?

文中说:为了减少犯罪率,监狱的条件变得更恶劣,不允许囚犯上学.这样做无法达到预期目标,因为那些上过学的人在释放后更少犯罪.

将C取非后变成"上过学的囚犯更不可能犯罪",不和文章结论抵触,反而和文章since后的reasoning相符.所以应该排除C

我认为A是对的.

definitely A

大家是不是有些盲从nn们了

c选项释放后，受过高等教育的罪犯不比没受过高等教育的罪犯犯罪可能性低，那么对政府政策的反对是不成立的。因为这个社论就是以上学能减少获释后的犯罪率作为论据的。从而削弱了原文。

我认为选c的朋友关注在政府政策的有效性，而不是这篇社论的论证过程。
