A is the answer that wants to eliminate the difference in the application to smoking between the people in depress and normal ones.

A says no matter what you were at the first place, it will not affect the result of the investigation.Since mood difference has been identified as the same.

一看就是A.

但B没看懂,谁能帮忙翻译一下?谢谢!

Participants who began smoking within a month of the study’s start were no more likely than those who began midway through to have quit smoking by the study’s end.

其實這是 ETS 慣用的技倆

記不記得還有一題 作息時間不同的夫妻 ==> 感情會不好  Weaken 這個結論的原因 是 因為感情不好的夫妻 傾向故意把作息時間弄得不同

也就是用反果為因的論述來打壞原來的

再這一提也裡也是

如果說  depress 會引起人抽煙 那在 Study end 時發現 抽煙的人都有 depress 就不稀奇了 因為是 depress 引起人想抽煙 不是抽煙引起 depress

如此一來 若是把這個推翻結論的可能性排除 自然就加強了這個 conclusion

说得好！

B：

在实验开始一个月内开始吸烟的人 和 在实验过程中间开始吸烟的人 都不太可能在实验结束前戒烟。

所以，B明显是无关的。

这题主要就是AB比较难懂。看明白了其实是好选的。

A is no more ... than B

就是"A和B都不..."的意思

这选项属于排除因果倒置的类型，也就是LAWYER所说的因果不颠倒。

另外感觉GMAT的WEAKEN和SUPPORT题的思路是如此地相近，WEAKEN比较绕的一种选项就是因果倒置，然后此题就是与之相反的一个代表。还有就是WEAKEN的最常见手法就是他因削弱，然而SUPPORT的最常见手法就是架桥，也就是他因来联系因果。

感觉这道题跟下面这道题很像：

GWD3-Q32:

Newspaper editorial:

In an attempt to reduce the crime rate, the governor is getting tough on criminals and making prison conditions harsher.  Part of this effort has been to deny inmates the access they formerly had to college-level courses.  However, this action is clearly counter to the governor’s ultimate goal, since after being released form prison, inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?C

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.

B.       Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population.

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.  

D.      Taking high school level courses in prison has less effect on an inmate’s subsequent behavior than taking college-level courses does.

E.       The governor’s ultimate goal actually is to gain popularity by convincing people that something effective is being done about crime.

因果不颠倒，take college-level courses 的人并不是不会再犯罪的人，也就是说不是 不犯罪推出想 take college-level courses 。

原文结果关系

support为证明因果没倒置

weaken为证明因果倒置

排除他因：就是在开始的时候就depress的在调查结束时候并不比那些开始的时候不depress的更容易开始吸烟。（也就是说，这些开始就depress的人不对调查产生影响，因为最后分析的是开始不吸烟，后来吸烟的人，而这些人开始到最后都不吸烟。） 对吧？

我觉得不是。是因为开始就depress，后面才吸烟，则说明不是吸烟导致depress的。
