Two computer companies, Garnet and Renco, each pay Salcor to providehealth insurance for their employees. Becauseearly treatment of high cholesterol can prevent strokes that would otherwiseoccur several years later, Salcor encourages Garnet employees to have theircholesterol levels tested and to obtain early treatment for highcholesterol. Renco employees generally remain with Renco only for a few years,however. Therefore, Salcor lacks any financial incentive to provide similarencouragement to Renco employees.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A. Early treatment of high cholesterol does not eliminate the possibilityof a stroke later in life.
B. People often obtain early treatment for high cholesterol on their own.
C. Garnet hires a significant number of former employees of Renco.
D. Renco and Garnet have approximately the same number of employees.
E . Renco employees are not, on average, significantly younger than Garnetemployees.
看了国内国外的一些论坛,发现这道题还是没彻底搞懂。 当初在做题的时候主要就是对题目本身没看懂。为什么S提供给G和R同样的服务,S encourage G 做一些事,然后交代“ Renco employees generally remain withRenco only for a few years, however.”(尤其不懂这句的意图)后就下结论S没有financial incentive to encourage R呢? 这里的financialincentive具体是什么?
1. argument本身的逻辑是怎样的?也就是麻烦大家更简单的讲一下argument的situation
2. 文中的“ Renco employees generally remain withRenco only for a few years, however.”和它的argument有什么关系?(这位其实也可以从第一问体现出来)
3. financial incentive具体指的什么,举个例子吧。
