OG 188
When demand for a factory's products is high, more money is spent at the factory for safety precautions and machinery maintenance than when demand is low. Thus the average number of on-the-job accidents per employee each month should be lower during eriods when demand is high than when demand is low and less money is available for safety precautions and machinery maintenance.

Which of the following, if true about a factory when demand for its products is high,casts the most serious doubt on the conclusion drawn above?
A  Its employees ask for higher wages than they do at other times.
B  Its management hires new workers but lacks the time to train them properly.
C  its employees are less likely to lose their jobs than they are at other times
D Its management sposors a monthly safety award for each division in the factory.
E Its old machinery is replaced with moderns,automated models.

答案是B，但我选D，我认为是其他原因来解释了结论。我想不出来为什么D不对。

砖头：p176
Radioactive radon gas emanating from rock such as granite puts inhabitants of houses built on such rock at greater risk of lung cancer the longer the inhabitants are exposed.Protective steps should be taken if radon measurements exceed 4 picocuries per liter;this recommendation is based on 70 years of occupancy by any one person.

If a  65-year-old homeowner concludes from the information above that radon testing for the new home she has purchased will not be necessary,then each of the following,if ture, weakens the homeowner's argument EXCEPT:

A Houses in which the homeowner previously lived were in an area where elevated radon levels have been found.
我觉的这个答案跟题目无关啊。

p 159

According to a 1980 survey,ten percent of all United States citizens over the age of sixteen are functionally illliterate. Therefore, if the projection that there will be 250 million United States citizens over sixteen in the year 2000 is correct,we project that 25 million of these citizens will be functionally illiterate.
Which of the following,if true, would most weaken the conclusion drawn by the author of the passage above?

A  The percentage of high school graduates who do not go on to college has grwon steadily over the past two decades.
B  From 1975 to 1980 there was a three-percent decrease in the rate of functional illiteracy among United States citizens over the age of sixteen.
C  Many United States citizens included in the 1980 survey would also be included in a survey conducted in the year 2000
D  Surveys that are improperly designed usually provide inaccurate results.
E In 1980 sixty-five percent of all United States citizens were over the age of sixteen.

我感觉B不能说明问题，与题目不相干啊。

Evidence: when demand for a factory's products is high, more money is spent at the factory for safety precautions and machinery maintenance than when demand is low Hiden Premise: More money does work on the issue. Money is everything!!!! Weaken: 注意这是一个问题中有条件的WEAKEN，条件是DEMAND HIGH，根据EVIDENCE，MORE MONEY WILL。 B说（尽管MORE MONEY）没有时间培训，攻击了HP。 D好象在某种程度上是加强，绝大部分是无关，构不成削弱。 这题是WEAKEN，不是假设呀。
