Three large companies and seven small companies currently manufacture a product with potential military applications.  If the government regulates the industry, it will institute a single set of manufacturing specifications to which all ten companies will have to adhere.  In this case, therefore, since none of the seven small companies can afford to convert their production lines to a new set of manufacturing specifications, only the three large companies will be able to remain in business.

 

 

 

Which of the following is an assumption on which the author’s argument relies?

 

 

 

1. None of the three large companies will go out of business if the government does not regulate the manufacture of the product.

2. It would cost more to convert the production lines of the small companies to a new set of manufacturing specifications than it would to convert the production lines of the large companies.

3. Industry lobbyists will be unable to dissuade the government from regulating the industry.

4. Assembly of the product produced according to government manufacturing specifications would be more complex than current assembly procedures.

5. None of the seven small companies currently manufactures the product to a set of specifications that would match those the government would institute if the industry were to be regulated.

我认为CONCLUSION 跟THREE LARGE COMPANY 都没什么关系，主要在于规范对小公司的影响

我会被误导是因黄色部份感觉很像结论…….这部份要如何排除……..

7家小司是重点要如何看出…….???????????

我觉得这里的only the three large company是强调如果没有regulated,那么小企业就can not stay in the business.

我有一点想法,不知道对不对,请大家指教.

首先确定这道题的逻辑结构:如果政府出规定---所有公司都要遵从---小公司无法负担转型费用,退出竞争

---大公司存活.

然后找出论据与结论间的GAP,"小公司无法负担转型费用",小公司是否一定要负担这笔费用呢?如果小公司现有的生产线已经符合规定

那么就不须负担这笔费用了,也就无法推出"退出竞争,只有大公司存活"的结论.要想论据更充分,就得把"小公司现有的生产线不符合规定"

加进去,所以我选E

A.None of the three large companies will go out of business if the government does not regulate the manufacture of the product.

A 错,因为, 根据"如果政府不规定,三家大公司不会退出"这一论据无法判断"政府出规定,三家大公司是否会退出".
