为什么其他organization 发生的事情能说明自己家发生的事情？不是说不能这样类比的么？什么时候同类型的事情能类比 什么时候不能呢？作者: chaomat1988 时间: 2013-2-24 18:59
cause and effect reasoning
a选项说其他没播烂节目的新闻机构也收视率下降，有果无因，所以收视率下降和烂节目无关，所以支持了network’s position作者: henguc 时间: 2013-3-3 08:23
OG上说C Since the network did in fact receive complaints about the report, this statement is irrelevant.
可是原文里明明就有啊。。The network also received a very large number of complaints regarding the report.
我觉得C选项是weaken啊。。。有木有牛牛能解释一下C选项啊作者: ozymen 时间: 2013-3-4 20:29
