Last year the rate of inflation was 1.2 percent, but for the current year it has been 4 percent. We can conclude that inflation is on an upward trend and the rate will be still higher next year. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion above? 这里用去年和今年的通胀率来预测明天的通胀率。 如果要削弱：就是要说明去年和今年的无代表性，无法预测明天的通胀。 (A) The inflation figures were computed on the basis of a representative sample of economic data rather than all of the available data. ->有代表性的选项，是支持结论的。 (B) Last year a dip in oil prices brought inflation temporarily below its recent stable annual level of 4 percent. ->说明去年的数据没有代表性 (C) Increases in the pay of some workers are tied to the level of inflation, and at an inflation rate of 4 percent or above, these pay raises constitute a force causing further inflation. ->工资是完全无关选项。 (D) The 1.2 percent rate of inflation last year represented a ten-year low. ->十年低位，无法说明任何问题。可能有代表，可能无代表 (E) Government intervention cannot affect the rate of inflation to any significant degree. ->政府是否介入在文中没有说过，完全无关选项。 |
