题目

awmaker: Raising taxes is not the only means of reducing government

debt. The government’s stockpile of helium is worth 25 percent more,

at current market prices, than the debt accumulated in acquiring and

storing it. Therefore, by selling the helium, the government can not

only pay off that debt but reduce its overall debt as well.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

答案: D. Attempts to sell the government’s helium will not depress the market

Price of helium by more than 25 percent.

但是我觉得A的答案也可以的啊

A.
The government has no current need for helium.

哪位可以告诉A为什么不对呢?

需要Helium 和卖Helium不是一定矛盾。美国每年需要很多的石油，但美国的石油储备量非常大（大部分靠进口），在这种情况下美国是可以卖石油的。

储备的东西不是你不用的东西，而是你剩余的东西或者为将来用量增加，或者原料来源中断而做的准备。这个国家可能现在就在用Helium，但他还会有很多的储备。

why E is not correct , any cost associated with the sale of the helium could also affect the result coz this choice is reasonable enough to let the lawmaker rethink the proposal .

a big thank U for the answer

the E choice :

E. The government will not incur any costs in closing its facilities for

stockpiling helium.

做这种假设题最简单了,题目中说,

selling the helium, the government can not

only pay off....

然后答案中找selling the helium,

而且你这个做主语来描述的,就只有 D.

所以我一般这种题,最多花 30秒
