LSAT-17-3-17

17.   It is the mark of a superior conductor that he or she has the authority to insist, even with a top orchestra, that rehearsal work must be intensified. This authority cannot simply be claimed, the conductor must earn it by winning the orchestra’s respect for the artistic interpretations he or she is currently pursuing.

In taking the position outlined, the author presupposes which one of the following?

(A) Superior conductors devise different interpretations of composition for each orchestra with which they perform it.

(B) Superior conductors are perfectionists who are never satisfied with any performance even by a top orchestra.

(C) Top orchestras are always ready to put in additional work on rehearsals if the conductor considers additional rehearsing necessary.

(D) Top orchestras can appreciate the merits of an interpretation even before they have brought it to full realization.

(E) Even top orchestras are not always led by superior conductors.

The answer is D.

The conclusion " superior conductors have the authority to insist on intensified rehearsal work".

The premise: " the authority is gained by winning the orchestra’s respect for the artistic interpretations he or she is currently pursuing."

I understand D can be assumption if it was rewritten in "Top orchestras can appreciate the merits of an interpretation". Why should D be " ........ even before they have brought it to full realization?"

Thanks

即使仍未完全理解，掌握CONDUCTOR的INTERPRATATION还是一样appreciate。排除未理解情况下不appreciate的可能性。

那就是说，即使没有这后半句也是假设？
