说说偶的拙见啊. 我觉得文章第一句开头就说sb regard sth as an example of XXX,这个算不算是一种assumption呢? 在他们潜意识中就把成功的technological development作为了经济发展的因素呢?

而今迈步从头越

Agree. 其实任何未经证实的言论都可以称之为assumption.

D is the best answer.

Two assumptions are mentioned in the article: First technology is the driven cause and second nontechnology retards development.

开始35选了C，看了帖子，又不能说D错。哎呀，不知道选哪个？我觉得D说criticize，有那么严重吗？而C语气舒缓多了，就question。不过C，D最大的区别是value和assumption的问题，看不出文中有value，但是也觉得不至于criticize那么严重，所以才困惑啊。。。。。

刚才查了下字典，argue for 是“ 支持 ” 的意思.

显而易见，文章通篇都再质疑，并指出某些研究者考虑泰国经济发展影响因素的不全面性，故B被排除。

支持B，说说我的看法：

大家都在讨论argue的用法，但没有考虑adoption的用法。我认为B的意思不是说“支持采用rural development projects",而是建议researchers在研究中“采纳rural development projects的影响也作为经济增长的数据”。这样解释，不知大家是否同意？

Yet by focusing solely on aggregate economic growth data as the measure of Thailand’s development, these researchers have overlooked the economic impact of rural development projects that improve people’s daily lives at the village level。
