41. Raymond Burr played the role of lawyer Perry Mason on television. Burr’s death in 1993 prompted a prominent lawyer to say “Although not a lawyer, Mr. Burr strove for such authenticity that we feel as if we lost one of our own.” This comment from a prestigious attorney provides appalling evidence that, in the face of television, even some legal professionals are losing their ability to distinguish fiction from reality.

The reasoning in the argument is flawed because the argument

A.       takes the views of one lawyer to represent the views of all lawyers

B.        criticizes the lawyer rather than the lawyer’s statement

C.        presumes that the lawyer is qualified to evaluate the performance of an actor

D.       focuses on a famous actor’s portrayal of a lawyer rather than on the usual way in which lawyers are portrayed on television

E.        ignores the part of the lawyer’s remark that indicates an awareness of the difference between reality and fiction

解释：用排除法解决。因为A，B，C，D指出的错误原argument并没有犯

题目的意思是什么啊？ 这个题怎么分析啊？请NN指点！

谢谢！

The lawyer says: "Although not a lawyer, Mr. Burr strove for such authenticity that we feel as if we lost one of our own.”

It clearly shows when the lawyer states the above words, he knows that Mr. Burr was only an actor. So his claim of Mr. Burr as one of them is only a way to praise  the actor, but not to accept him as a colleague.

Hence, A B C D have nothing to do with the  argument that "some legal professionals are losing their ability to distinguish fiction from reality". In other words, ABCD are irrelevant.

Therefore, the only correct answer is E.

请问大家这句话里的argument是不是就只指 文章里引号里说的那句话啊, 还是指整段文章? 我在做这道题时就把argument理解成整段话, 所以选了A,理由是以偏盖全了, 一个律师的观点不能代表所有律师的观点.

如果argument只指引号里的话, 那么在所有的CR题里当问题里提到某某argument时, 是不是都仅指某某人的话或者观点, 而不是整段文章呢?
