Because incumbent members of Congress are given a great deal of attention by the news media and because they enjoy such perquisites as free mail privileges and generous travel allowances, incumbents enjoy an overwhelming advantage over their challengers in elections for the United States Congress. Which of the following, if true, best supportsthe claim above?
(A) In the last congressional elections, incumbents met with a larger number of lobbyists than did challengers.
(B) In the last congressional elections, 98 percent of the incumbents in the House of Representatives who were seeking reelection won. 答案是B,A为什么不对呢?(我是菜鸟中的菜鸟。)
because...and...because...是前提,incumbents enjoy an overwhelming advantage over their challengers in elections for the United States Congress是结论。此题为加强题,加强结论。B直接加强结论。而A,题目并没有告诉你met with lobbyists 越多,获胜机会就越大。lz选A的话是自己强加了这样一个假设
