Doctors in Britain have long suspected that patients who wear tinted eyeglasses are abnormally prone to depression and hypochondria. Psychological tests given there to hospital patients admitted for physical complaints like heart pain and digestive distress confirmed such a relationship. Perhaps people whose relationship to the world is psychologically painful choose such glasses to reduce visual stimulation, which is perceived as irritating. At any rate, it can be concluded that when such glasses are worn, it is because the wearer has a tendency to be depressed or hypochondriacal.

22.   The argument assumes which one of the following?

(A) Depression is not caused in some cases by an organic condition of the body.

(B) Wearers do not think of the tinted glasses as a means of distancing themselves from ocher people.

(C) Depression can have many causes, including actual conditions about which it is reasonable for anyone to be depressed.

(D) For hypochondriacs wearing tinted glasses, the glasses serve as a visual signal to others that the wearer’s health is delicate.（E）

(E) The tinting does not dim light to the eye enough to depress the wearer’s mood substantially.

Here, why B is wrong?

Could anybody please help me?

Thank you very much!

带有色眼镜的人 容易患忧郁症 因为people whose relationship to the world is psychologically painful 选这种眼镜降低视觉刺激

B  无关 吧

E 取非 则否定上述说法  因为是这种眼镜使人忧郁

我觉得B 时指出了他因什么这些人要戴眼镜。

我的想法对吗？还请牛牛们指正。。。

这是谁是因，谁是果题型。原文由戴 tinted eyeglasses 的人易于depression and hypochondria得出结论depression and hypochondria是因，tinted eyeglasses 是果。是depression and hypochondria导致戴tinted eyeglasses 。也有可能是戴 tinted eyeglasses 导致depression and hypochondria，tinted eyeglasses 是因，depression and hypochondria是果。

Spot the question type: Necessary Assumption

P1: EG ---> D+ H

P2: D+H ---> HP + DD

P3: Psychologically Painful with glasses ---> Reduce Visual Stimulation ---> Irritating

C: If were glasses ---> Prone to be D or H

Well, so the assumption here is that When those patient were sunglasses, they must wear it to reduce visual stimulation to best " not be irritating ", so, it must be true that When they were sunglasses, they won't " be more irritating " before wearing the sunglasses. Which is to say, the act of wearing sunglasses resulting in blocking the sunlight would not make the patient " more irritating ".

let us dive into the answers.

A. Negate it - Depression is caused in some cases by an organic condition of the day does not present that fact that in the other some cases, Depression is also caused by visual stimulation。Away from the core.

B. Negate it - Wearers " do " think of the tinted glasses as a means of distancing themselves from others people does not mean that they can't also think of the tinted glasses as a means of blocking the visual stimulation.  你認為開藍寶基尼是一種炫富的方式不代表你不認為戴陀飛輪手錶不是一種炫富的方式。

C. Negate it - Depression can not have many causes... ( Does it really relevant to the argument ? )

D. Also away from the core of the argument. it can also serve a way for them to block the visual stimulations.

E. Negate it - The tinting does dim light to the eye enough to depress the wearer's mood substantially.

Ok, so, if the light being dimmed by wearing sunglasses would make people unhappy, then it must be the other reason for those patient to wear sunglasses. Perfectly the argument. Just as what we discussed above. Perfect Answer.
