Journalist: In late 1994, thepresent government of Republic of Bellam came into power. Each year since then, about thirty journalists have been imprisoned for printing articles that criticize the government. In 1994, under the old government, only six journalists were imprisoned for criticizing the government. So the old government was more tolerant of criticism by the press than the new one is.
Politician: But in 1994 only six journalists criticized the government, and now journalists routinely do.
The politician challenges the journalist's argument by doing which of the following?
A, Presenting data that extend further into the past than the journalist's data
B, Introducing evidence that undermines an assumption of the journalist's argument
C, Questioning the accuracy of the evidence presented in support of the journalist's argument
D, Pointing out that the argument illegitimately draws a general conclusion on the basis of a sample of only a few cases
E, Stating that the argument treats information about some members of a group as if it applied to all members of that group

The assumption of the journalist is that EVERY year is the same or the base is the same.
The politician simply points out: No. Your statistic missed a crucial fact.作者: bobchowz 时间: 2012-3-9 06:45
J 的结论是新政府比旧政府严酷 理由是新政府关的人多
P 说 旧政府关人率100%
很明显J的逻辑错误在于 assume 绝对数大 百分比就大 因此由绝对数值大 就得出政府更严酷 what if 新政府时期1千个记者JJYY,政府才关了13个? 1.3%显然不能说比100%更严酷
A 提供更早些时期的数据 没有这么做 不对
c 质疑证据的准确性 J的数据准不准另说 但P没有质疑准确性
D 有些迷惑性 但J没有犯以偏概全的逻辑错误
E 也一样 和以偏概全无关作者: james2201 时间: 2012-3-9 20:57
谢谢，这么快回复。
能帮忙翻译一下 D 和 E 吗。我觉得我能理解以偏概全，但不太能读懂选项的意思。作者: bobchowz 时间: 2012-3-10 21:19
