Springfield Fire Commissioner: the vast majority of false fire alarms are prank calls made anonymously from fire alarm boxes on street corners. Since virtually everyone has access to a private telephone, these alarm boxes have outlived their usefulness. Therefore, we propose to remove the boxes. Removing the boxes will reduce the number of prank calls without hampering people’s ability to report a fire.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the claim that the proposal, if carried out, will have the announced effect?
A.The fire department traces all alarm calls made from private telephones and records where they came from.
B.Maintaining the fire alarm boxes costs Springfield approximately five million dollars annually.
C.A telephone call can provide the fire department with more information about the nature and size of a fire than can an alarm placed from an alarm box.
D.Responding to false alarms significantly reduces the fire department’s capacity for responding to fires.
E.On any given day, a significant percentage of the public telephones in Springfield are out of service.
答案是A
我错选了C,og对C的解释是,C与reduce the number of prank calls、 without hampering people’s ability to report a fire这两个中心的问题无关,如果一个唯一发现起火的人只有access to boxes 而不能打电话的话,就算phone比box好也没有用。我能理解C的不对。
A的意思是说fire apartment追踪并记录所有来自phone的火警。og的解释为,这样就可以reduce the number of prank calls,所以support。但我的疑问在于,用对C的解释来解释A的话,如果一个唯一发现起火的人只有access to boxes 而不能打电话,那么remove了boxes就是可能hampering people’s ability to report a fire的啊。
综上,我感到很凌乱啊……A、C对比的话A是更好的,最起码support了其中一个目的,但混乱在于,题中说明了 virtually everyone has access to a private telephone,而og对C的解释却是“如果一个唯一发现起火的人只有access to boxes 而不能打电话的话,就算phone比box好也没有用”,这不是有点矛盾吗……所以我觉得og的解释有点问题……求高手解答,不胜感激!!
