It is true that it is against international law to sell plutonium to countries that do not yet have nuclear weapons. But if United States companies do not do so, companies in other countries will.
Which of the following is most like the argument above in its logical structure?
(A) It is true that it is against the police department’s policy to negotiate with kidnappers. But if the police want to prevent loss of life, they must negotiate in some cases.
(B) it is true that it is illegal to refuse to register for military service. But there is a long tradition in the United States of conscientious objection to serving in the armed forces.
(C) It is true that it is illegal for a government official to participate in a transaction in which there is an apparent conflict of interest. But if the facts are examined carefully, it will clearly be seen that there was no actual conflict of interest in the defendant’s case.
(D) It is true that it is against the law to burglarize people’s homes. But someone else certainly would have burglarized that house if the defendant had not done so first.
(E) It is true that company policy forbids supervisors to fire employees without two written warnings. But there have been many supervisors who have disobeyed this policy.
Yes, it is an analogy type of question. Similar to all kinds of CR questions, the first step is to analyse the argument made in the stimulus.
Stimulus: It is illegal to do A. But if US does not do A, someone else will do A.
Then you screen the answer choice, analyze their logica structures, and try to find a similar one.
D) It is illegal to do B. But if the defendant had not done B, someone else would have done B.
Bingo.
On the other hand,
E) It is illegal to do C. But people do C all the time.

One more thing, when trying to find an analogous logical argument, you have to try to copy almost everything of the orginal argument in the correct answer, include the type of the argument.作者: wenbowei911 时间: 2011-4-26 06:50
啊，明白了，非常感谢！！！作者: sbjqbS 时间: 2011-4-27 06:47
original sentence: if A doesnt do, B will do.
only D serves this logic.
