106.(31188-!-item-!-188;#058&005724)(GWD 28-Q32)



A prominent investor who holds a large stake in the Burton Tool Company has recently claimed that the company is mismanaged.As evidence for this claim, the investor cited the company's failure to slow production in response to a recent rise in its inventory of finished products.It is doubtful whether an investor's sniping at management can ever be anything other than counterproductive, but in this case it is clearly not justified.It is true that an increased inventory of finished products often indicates that production is outstripping demand.In Burton
's case it indicates no such thing, however:the increase in inventory is entirely attributable to products that have already been assigned to orders received from customers.
In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?

A. The first provides evidence to support the conclusion of the argument as a whole; the second states that conclusion.

B. The first states the conclusion of the argument as a whole; the second states an intermediate conclusion that is drawn in order to support that conclusion.

C. The first is the position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second provides evidence against the position being opposed.

D. The first states an intermediate conclusion that is drawn in order to support the conclusion of the argument as a whole; the second states the conclusion of the argument as a whole.

E. The first and the second both state intermediate conclusions that are drawn in order to support jointly the conclusion of the argument as a whole.

答案选的是B我以为逻辑是这样的先给出一个investor得出的结论——mismanage

Then, evidence is given——没有及时针对存货过多而减少产量

然而，文中作者认为该企业只是因为订单多而存货多，并不能妄下结论

如果这样说的话，那么作者的主要观点还是在于反驳investor, 为什么不选择C呢
求各位ＮＮ解答啊。。

106. (GWD 28-Q32 different type)

A prominent investor who holds a large stake in the Burton Tool Company has recently claimed that the company is mismanaged. As evidence for this claim, the investor cited the company's failure to slow production in response to a recent rise in its inventory of finished products. It is doubtful whether an investor's sniping at management can ever be anything other than counterproductive, but in this case it is clearly not justified. It is true that an increased inventory of finished products often indicates that production is outstripping demand. In Burton's case it indicates no such thing, however: the increase in inventory is entirely attributable to products that have already been assigned to orders received from customers.

A. The first provides evidence to support the conclusion of the argument as a whole; the second states that conclusion.

C. The first is the position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second provides evidence against the position being opposed.

E. The first and the second both state intermediate conclusions that are drawn in order to support jointly the conclusion of the argument as a whole.

我表示我好像明白了，原先把首句结论当成第一个黑体部分了，所以选了C。。。。。
