8. When the government of a nation announced recently that a leader of the nation’s political opposition had died of a mysterious illness in prison, few seasoned observers of the regime were surprised. As the police captain in an old movie remarked when asked about the condition of a prisoner, “We’re trying to decide whether he committed suicide or died trying to escape.”

The statements above invite which of the following conclusions?

(A) The opposition leader was probably killed trying to escape from prison.

(B) The opposition leader may not be dead at all.

(C) It is unlikely that the head of the regime knows the true cause of the opposition leader’s death.

(D) The opposition leader probably killed himself.

(E) The regime very likely was responsible for the death of the opposition leader. 我选的D,答案是E.是否在于PROBABLY 和LIKELY的区别?好象ETS很忌用PROBABLY.是么?

好象没有你说的这种情况 这个不是SC 应该没有preference

A和D是一种情况

B是子虚乌有

C和E相反

因为文中说到是try to decide 所以是E
