Theproposal to hire ten new police officers in Middletown is quite foolish. There is sufficient funding to pay thesalaries of the new officers, but not the salaries of additional court andprison employees to process the increased caseload of arrests and convictionsthat new officers usually generate.
Whichof the following, if true, will most seriously weaken the conclusion drawnabove?
(A)Studies have shown that an increase in a city's police force does notnecessarily reduce crime.
(B)When one major city increased its police force by 19 percent last year, therewere 40 percent more arrests and 13 percent more convictions.
(C)If funding for the new police officers' salaries is approved, support for othercity services will have to be reduced during the next fiscal year.
(D)In most United States cities, not all arrests result in convictions, and notall convictions result in prison terms.（E）
(E)Middletown's ratio of police officers to citizens has reached a level at whichan increase in the number of officers will have a deterrent effect on crime.
我的问题是：
我理解的是文中的 conclusion是：Theproposal to hire ten new police officers in Middletown is quite foolish，
原因是：There is sufficient funding to pay thesalaries of the new officers, but not the salaries of additional court andprison employees to process the increased caseload of arrests and convictionsthat new officers usually generat。
照我这样的理解思路答案是D，可是文中答案是E，我却认为E是加强了结论。我知道我的思路肯定是错了，可是怎么也拐不到正确的答案上去。求指点！！！作者: NicoleYu 时间: 2010-4-15 20:17
