这道题还是不理解，谁能看看

屡败屡战

做了一套，就这道题看了答案也不理解
Defendants who can afford expensive private defense lawyershave a lower conviction rate than those who rely on court-appointed publicdefenders. This explains why criminals who commit lucrative crimes likeembezzlement or insider trading are more successful at avoiding conviction thanare street criminals.
The explanation offered above would be more persuasive ifwhich one of the following were true?
(A)Many street crimes, such as drug dealing, areextremely lucrative and those committing them can afford expensive privatelawyers.
(B)Most prosecutors are not competent to handlecases involving highly technical financial evidence and have more success inprosecuting cases of robbery or simple assault.
(C)  The number of criminals convicted of streetcrimes is far greater than the number of criminals convicted of embezzlement orinsider trading.
(D)  The percentage of defendants who actuallycommitted the crimes of which they are accused is no greater for publiclydefended than for privately defended defendants.
(E)   Juries, out of sympathy for the victims ofcrimes, are much more likely to convict defendants accused of violent crimesthan they are to convict defendants accused of “victimless” crimes or crimesagainst property.
我稍后再公布答案吧，哪位高手能justify 一下他/她选择的原因

Defendents who can afford expensive private defense lawyers have a lower conviction rate than those who rely on court-appointed public defenders. This explains why criminals who commit lucrative crimes like embezzlement or insider trading are more successful at avoiding conviction than are street criminals.

The explanation offered above would be more persuasive if which one of the following were true?

[a] Many street crimes. Such as drug dealing, are extremely lucrative and those committing them can afford expensive private lawyers.
Most prosecutors are not competent to handle cases involving highly technical financial evidence and have more success on prosecuting cases of robbery or simple assault.
[c] The number of criminals convicted of street crimes is far greater than the number of criminals convicted of embezzlement or insider trading.
[d] The percentage of defendants who actually committed the crimes of which they are accused is no greater for publicly defended than for privately defended defendants.
[e] Juries, out of sympathy for the victims of crimes, are much more likely to convict defendants accused of violent crimes than they are to convict defendants accised of “victimless” crimes or crimes against property

楼主，麻烦你以后把文章打清楚，一个字打错了，还有字和字需要空格。应该选D,这个是增强题中。
其中，low rate就是有百分比的意思。
A没有justify的作用。
B highly technical financial属于范围超出，而且意思相反。
C number和low rate没有直接关系。
E victimless范围超出。

Nicely done.

屡败屡战

现在明白了。 还是觉得D选项的说法好绕啊，又是committed the crimes of which they are accused，又是no greater than for 的，凌乱了都。

屡败屡战

谢谢，呵呵
有些单词连在一起——我之前真没注意，好像是复制粘贴到这上面就成这样了。

Sometimes time limits you not to read the whole sentence or argument totally. What you could do is to conclude the key words or do some notes about the key words. It really works for argument. In fact, the way to anylyse all the answers is good but not so practical in the test. Because time is limited.The best way to do argument is that you could prephrase the answer, which may be not 100% right but at least you could have a direction way to choose.

屡败屡战

What do u mean by prephrasing? Having key words of the intented answer in mind before going through all the choices? Sometimes it happens, but more often than not, I have no idea what the answer should be.
I usually quickly  take a glance at each choices and then choose to read the one that looks like the right answer....

paraphrase

prephrase is not an English word.

cathycathyhan

prephrase意思就是预先对于答案有所准备，这个Bible logical reasoning 里的意思，就是比如这道题目，出题的角度是have a lower conviction rate than ，一是lower rate，二是than表示比较级，所以答案中必须出现rate，在英语中rate就是百分比的概念percentage，第二个答案中需要出现比较级，如果答案符合两种情况的，这样的正确率可以达到80%-90%，就算原文句子再绕，可以做题的正确率会提高。
paraphrase是改写的意思，para前缀意思为全部，但是prephrase，pre前缀意思为预先的意思。大家不要误会两个词语。
