Q43

With the emergence of biotechnology companies,it was feared that they would impose silence about proprietary results on their in-house researchers and their academic consultants. This constraint, in turn, would slow the development of biological science and engineering.

Which of the following, if true, would tend to weaken most seriously the prediction of scientific secrecy descirbed above?

A) Biotechnological research funded by industry has reached some conclusions that are of major scientific importance.

B) When the results of scientific research are kept secret, independent researchers are unable to build on those results.

C) Since the researche priorities of biothchnology companies are not the same as those of academic institutions, the funancial support of research by such companies distorts the research agenda.

D) To enhance the companies's standing in the scientific community, the biotechnology companies encourage empolyees to publish their results,especially results that are important.

E) Biothchnology companies devote some of their reseach resources to problems that are not expected to produce immediate practical applications.

the answer is (D)

請問大家，這題的問題是 請選出削弱推翻這個假設(隨著生物科技公司的增長，他們會要求他們旗下的科學家對於他的研究的項目和結果保持沉默，因此，這種舉動會導致生物研究的發展緩慢) 的選項。

我的問題會卡在，d選項只是單單指出，生物科技公司會為了鞏固自己的地位，所以要求他們的科學家多多公開重要的研究結果。 如此，就可以推翻這個假設!??

請問這題ets出題和選正確選項的思路是在哪裡? 請各位指導! 謝謝

謝謝!

你的意思是，WEAKEN這個預測會造成的後果，就代表對這個預測的削弱!因此，不用考慮，預測本身而是所造成的後果是嗎!?

不好意思! 我問的問題太呆了!

真的太感謝你了!!
