argument是after being released form prison, inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates.
是说读书可以减少犯罪,注意,不是不读书可以增加犯罪
A:不读书不会减少犯罪,这是在反驳政府的观点,但是并没有支持作者的观点;
C:读书人在读书之前不比别人少犯罪的可能,而 after being released form prison, inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates,这个说明是读书起到了减少犯罪的作用,不是因为这些人本身就老实,排除他因!
S了一批脑细胞,好像有点眉目了,跟G友们讨论。 argument是after being released form prison, inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates,接受教育的罪犯在释放后的犯罪率比其他罪犯要低-->教育有用 问argument的assumption,即能得出“教育有用”论的即为假设前提。
A. Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is unlikely to deter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed. 不能读书并不能阻止犯罪,推导不出“读书能阻止犯罪”,所以对于读不读书有没有效果没做出肯定/否定的意见,故不是argument的assumption
C. The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released. 原本入狱前(接受教育前)这些人不比其他人更不具犯罪冲动(更老实),结合题干最后一句提到“释放后读过书的犯罪率降低”,所以读书有用,即支持了argument。
