Q2:

Guidebook writer:  I have visited hotels throughout the country and have noticed that in those built before 1930 the quality of the original carpentry work is generally superior to that in hotels built afterward.  Clearly carpenters working on hotels before 1930 typically worked with more skill, care, and effort than carpenters who have worked on hotels built subsequently.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the guidebook writer’s argument?

1. The quality of original carpentry in hotels is generally far superior to the quality of original carpentry in other structures, such as houses and stores.
   



2. Hotels built since 1930 can generally accommodate more guests than those built before 1930.
   



3. The materials available to carpenters working before 1930 were not significantly different in quality from the materials available to carpenters working after 1930.
   



4. The better the quality of original carpentry in a building, the less likely that building is to fall into disuse and be demolished.
   



5. The average length of apprenticeship for carpenters has declined significantly since 1930.

个人人为: d) 很牵强, 但又无更好的.........

d) The better the quality of original carpentry in a building, the less likely that building is to fall into disuse and be demolished    说, 木匠手艺越好, 楼越不易倒. 怎样weakens the guidebook writer?

(but: guidebook writer说, 由1930前 木匠造的楼更花功夫, 更有技术.)

还是我理解有误?

D要说的是作者看到的都是手艺好的木匠做的，那些手艺不好的早就被拆掉了（质量越好，被拆掉的可能性越小）。所以不能拿过去最好的和现在的多数比，然后就做出结论说过去的手艺比现在好，那是以偏概全

怎么反应？D只说building更少可能被误用或毁坏啊。。。怎么感觉象无关选项？

不同意D

由D可以推出是拿1930前的好房子和1930后的好房子比，对原文结论没有影响

同意B，容纳更多人可以看成是skill,care,effort的另一种表现
