45. Commissioner: Budget forecasters project a revenue shortfall of a billion dollars in the coming fiscal year. Since there is no feasible way to increase the available funds, our only choice is to decrease expenditures. The plan before you outlines feasible cuts that would yield savings of a billion dollars over the coming fiscal year. We will be able to solve the problem we face, therefore, only if we adopt this plan.

This reasoning in the commissioner’s argument is flawed because this argument

(A) relies on information that is far from certain

(B) confuses being an adequate solution with being a required solution

(C) inappropriately relies on the opinions of experts

(D) inappropriately employs language that is vague

(E) takes for granted that there is no way to increase available funds

看到这些选项，觉得无从下手，有事么技法吗？(答案是b)

我觉得关键你要把文章的推理看懂,

事实:也可以理解为原因:Budget forecasters project a revenue shortfall of a billion dollars in the coming fiscal year.

原因:1)Since there is no feasible way to increase the available funds, our only choice is to decrease expenditures

2)The plan before you outlines feasible cuts that would yield savings of a billion dollars over the coming fiscal year

结论:approve the plan

推理: decrease expenditures->this plan can cuts the cost ->approve the plan

正确的逻辑应是:this plan can cuts the cost ->decrease expenditures故B正确
