19. Even though most universities retain the royalties from faculty members’ inventions, the faculty members retain the royalties from books and articles they write. Therefore, faculty members should retain the royalties from the educational computer software they develop. The conclusion above would be more reasonably drawn if which of the following were inserted into the argument as an additional premise?
A. Royalties from inventions are higher than royalties from educational software programs.
B. Faculty members are more likely to produce educational software programs than inventions.
C. Inventions bring more prestige to universities that do books and articles.
D. In the experience of most universities, educational software programs are more marketable that are books and articles.
E. In terms of the criteria used to award royalties, educational software programs are more nearly comparable to books and articles than to inventions.

正确答案选E，这道题里面的 Inventions, books and articles, computer software 之间到底是什么关系啊，为什么要选Ｅ呢？

请ＮＮ们指点一下啊～

here:

inventions are different from books and articles.

question discusses whehter software is more like invention than books and articles or vice versa.

题干中，

原因或者说推理的基础：Even though most universities retain the royalties

from faculty members’ inventions, the faculty members retain the royalties

from books and articles they write. 关键字是royalties ，inventions和books

and articles ；

结论是：Therefore, faculty members should retain the royalties from the

educational computer software they develop.关键字是royalties 和educational

computer software

思路，很明显，原因无法直接推理出结果，因为结果中的educational computer

software在基础中更本就没有！所以题目问，还需要选项中那一句来过渡，根据题目

的意思，educational computer software与books and articles一样，royalties 应

当归老师，所以答案必然是将educational computer software与books and articles

联系在一起的选项。

只有D与E满足，但是D中所说的are more marketable ，在原文中没有涉及，所以选E
