The lobbyists argued that because there is no statistical evidence that breathing other people’s tobacco smoke increases the incidence of heart disease or lung cancer in healthy nonsmokers, legislation banning smoking in workplaces cannot be justified on health grounds.

6.     Of the following, which is the best criticism of the argument reported above?

(A) It ignores causes of lung cancer other than smoking.

(B) It neglects the damaging effects of smoke-filled air on nonsmokers who are not healthy.

(C) It fails to mention the roles played by diet, exercise, and heredity in the development of heart disease.

(D) It does not consider the possibility that nonsmokers who breathe smoke-filled air at work may become more concerned about their health.（B）

(E) It does not acknowledge that nonsmokers, even those who breathe smoke-filled air at work, are in general healthier than smokers.



这题有一个问题，答案指出“原文的前提没有考虑到unhealthy people的影响”，但如果还有一个选项是说“没有考虑到二手烟对healthy people还有其它影响，如头痛等”，那个会是更好的选项呢？

If one's purpose is just to prepare for GMAT, unlike for grammar questions, for CR questions it is usually not a good idea to ask "what if?" questions.  Doing so may unnecessarily complicate the thinking process and waste the crucial preparation time.


It’s better to “见招拆招”.

我不同意你的说法，难道你仅仅认为GMAT只是一个考试吗？你不觉得通过GMAT你可以了解到西方人的思维习惯吗？如果你要出国，你就必须了解这个。所以，即使是多问一个为什么，都是有好处的。

所以我还是希望有人指点我前面的问题。

非常不同意LZ的说法，gmat就是一个考试，像学习西方人的思维方式不是不应该，而是没必要在gmat考试中学习！作任何工作似乎应该以该项工作的目标来选择工作的方式！robertchu说的我认为很有道理，时间就是很重要的东西，我个人认为gmat就是一个考试，我们只需要适应ets的思维方式！

我觉得两个答案都对，都是针对“health grounds”

了解到西方人的思维习惯不是從ABCDE選項中就能了解

西方人也是人  而人類的思想不是從幾個文字問題中或一項考試中 就能看出來

至於 如果还有一个选项是说“没有考虑到二手烟对healthy people还有其它影响，如头痛等”，那个会是更好的选项呢？

b/c the critism is about "no statistical evidence..on healthy nonsmokers" ..a good answer should focus on the two key words: stat evidence OR　healthy non-smokers

giving more examples doesnt help to weaken the statement

把这题顶一下，再次求教思路。

个人认为这题是ETS没逻辑的体现……
