Three large companies andseven small companies currently manufacture a product with potential militaryapplications.  If the governmentregulates the industry, it will institute a single set of manufacturingspecifications to which all ten companies will have to adhere.  In this case, therefore, since none of theseven small companies can afford to convert their production lines to a new setof manufacturing specifications, only the three large companies will be able toremain in business.

Which of the following isan assumption on which the author’s argument relies?

A.     None of the three large companies will go out of businessif the government does not regulate the manufacture of the product.
B.     It would cost more to convert the production lines of thesmall companies to a new set of manufacturing specifications than it would toconvert the production lines of the large companies.
C.     Industry lobbyists will be unable to dissuade thegovernment from regulating the industry.
D.     Assembly of the product produced according to governmentmanufacturing specifications would be more complex than current assemblyprocedures.
E.      None of the seven small companies currently manufacturesthe product to a set of specifications that would match those the governmentwould institute if the industry were to be regulated.


答案是E。B的答案错是不是错在，即使取非了说小公司的花费不比大公司多，那么小公司也不一定能承担改装的费用。所以可能还是只有3家大公司能存活下来。是这样的么？当时做题就在BE选项徘徊了好久。。。

楼主，这样，这道题问的是assumption，选B错误是因为它将范围限定的过于狭窄，这个assumption并不是题目假设的，就像你说的，如果取非，说是不超过的话，也就包括费用相等和费用小于。那么即使费用相等，因为大公司的财力比小公司强，他们能更好的支付这笔钱，小公司可能就无法支付。

比如，同样买一个LV的￥16000的包，一个富二代能轻松买，一个工薪阶层要买就很吃力
