That gadget I bought for the kitchen last week has already broken. It's just another example of the shoddy products that we are seeing more and more of these days. The thing was probably manufactured in East Golo.
Which one of the following is the best expression of an unstated premise that underlies the author's reasoning in the passage?
(A)If a manufacture uses shoddy materials to make a gadget, the gadget is likely to break quickly.
(B)If a gadget breaks quickly, it was probably manufactured in East Golo.
(C)If a kitchen gadget was manufactured in East Golo, it should not be sold in this country.
(D)If everything that is manufactured in East Golo breaks quickly, then kitchen gadgets manufactured in East Golo are likely to break quickly.
(E)Nothing that is manufactured in East Golo can be expected to last more than a week.

补充一下：做assumption题目的标准方法是将选项取非，如果能使原命题不成立则为正确答案。简而言之选项取非后当weaken来做。
本题中 B,If a gadget breaks quickly, it was probably manufactured in East Golo取非则为如果gadget很快坏掉，则不可能为EG地方制造。显然是提干不成立。
E，Nothing that is manufactured in East Golo can be expected to last more than a week.
取非则为：EG造的东西存在被认为能用一周以上的东东，显然不能削弱提干。作者: carefield 时间: 2003-4-16 06:51
