TEST III 14

14.   The president of a consulting firm analyzed the decisions made about marketing by her clients and concluded that the decisions were correct only about half of the time.

The conclusion above depends on the presupposition that

(A) companies can be successful even when about half of the decisions they make about marketing prove to be wrong

(B) companies hiring her consulting firm make no more incorrect marketing decisions than do companies in general

(C) executives consistently making correct marketing decisions rarely enlist the aid of a consulting firm

(D) marketing decision are just as likely to be correct as they are to be incorrect（E）

(E) it is possible to classify a marketing decision properly as being either right or wrong

偶选得意洋洋地选了B，但正确答案是E ，FAINT！！！。偶选择B的原因是：b是说咨询公司的老板认为自己很专业，有发言权，而且水平比客户那边高，自然就一下看出这个方案的不足，就应该是假设呀-没有别的原因更能说明客户雇佣了一个不会比他自己犯更多错误的公司来帮助他指定时常计划呀？还有，偶觉得E和这个假设没有关系呀。请各位帮偶指点迷经，谢谢

2.     In 1846 about 80 percent of the towns in New York State banned the sale of alcoholic beverages. A recent article about the bans concludes that mid-nineteenth-century supporters of the temperance movement were not residents of remote rural areas, as has often been asserted; rather, they were concentrated in centers of economic opportunity.

Which of the following, if true, best supports the conclusion reached in the article?

(A) After 1846 the temperance movement grew rapidly and it flourished until the turn of the century.

(B) Support for the ban on alcohol was strongest in New York towns where the economy was based on new, growing industries.

(C) Many young New York State farmers supported the ban on alcohol.

(D) The most adamant opponents of the ban included several affluent factory and mill owners.（B）

(E) In New York City, which was a commercial center in 1846, the sale of alcoholic beverages was not banned.

为什么不选择E，没有禁止市民才要强烈要求禁止嘛。正确答案B和支持有什么关系，新产业的出现难道就一定 要停止酒的生产吗？不解！！

14.  这个题目应该是assumption题吧。E取非就可以了。好像你对B的解释不对哦。

2.     结论说supporters集中在经济机会的centers。B说在那些经济基于新的成长工业的NY towns 对禁酒的支持最强正好支持了结论。

第二题我开始选了E但是觉得好像E是削弱现在。
