46. choice E is support not weaken... however, I think choice A is not weaken as well...what do you think?
48 evidence: married people in gernal have longer life expectatncies than do people who divorce and do not marry.. conclusion: divorce lead to health problem...
this a the same type of question as question 44.. A coincide with B----> A lead to B we gernerally weaken such arguments in two ways: 1. B lead to A 2. other facotrs, such as C(this factor is always not mention in the passage), lead to C by tell us that unmarried people have shorter life expectancies than married people, choice E indicates that another facor(unmarried) rather than divorce give rise to health problems... So even unmarried is not mentioned in the passage, it is a good choice to weaken the argument....
52 evidence: the number of purchase from consumer receiving the catalog was greater than the number of purchases from consumers not receiving the catalog.. conclusion: catalog stimulate the purchase the same type of question as 48..we use other factor to weaken the argument, as A does..
choice D is a support..
53. reason: by supressing the symtom of the illness, a medication will allow people to work, thereby infecting other people.. conclusion: the medication increase the number of illness case..
choice A, weaken the concusion directly...choice A tell us that the medication supress the coughing, a sympton of influenza and a primary mechanism in the spread of this illness, to supress the thread of illness...So medication will not increase the number of illness case..
Albert, I am sorry that I overlook the conclusion in T 46, that is the policy is unneccsary. But i regard the conclusion as being necessary.
Thank you for your analysis. T44, T48, T52 seem to be the same kind of weakening in Cr.
Albert, i have learned to discern the premise and conclusion in argument as well as the skills of weakening , but my obstable is to apply the the rule to specific cases. In the real test, i occasionally failed to realize how to weaken .
Thank you for your clear explanation. |
