1 请问GMAT机考中有类似于LSAT的纯逻辑题吗（就是充斥着，if, therefore, unless, require)

2 Fares on the city-run public buses in G are subsidized by city tax revenues, but among the beneficiaries of the low fares are many people who commute from outsidethe city to jobs in F. Some city councilors argue that city taxes should be used primarily to benefit the people who pay them, and therefore that bus fares should be raised enough to coverthe cost of the services

Ask: Weaken EXCEPT

D>  voters in the city, many of whom benefit from the low transit fares , are strongly opposed to increasing local taxes

E> people woh work in G and earn wages above the natinally mandated minimum  pay the city wage tax of 5% percent


Which one is correct, pls explain?

thanks

1. it is said the direction of GMAT logic question is kind of different from that of LSAT.
2. Is the answer E ?
D weaken
E is an irrelevant choice.

D> voters in the city, many of whom benefit from the low transit fares , are strongly opposed to increasing local taxes

E> people woh work in G and earn wages above the natinally mandated minimum pay the city wage tax of 5% percent
------------
The answer must be D.  E is a weaken choice.

Tongxun， why D is a weaken choic, I agree with Juleyi it is an irrelevant choice

tongxun

D不是weaken，是irrelevant choice 。因为问题问的是Ask: Weaken EXCEPT
注意：EXCEPT

题设是：
1某市车费低，
因为本市人交税。
2但有别的城市的人来乘车。

结论： 为了让车费原则BENEFIT本市人，要加车费
找WEAKEN EXCEPT，就是想把这个选项放进去，也不能够反驳结论。

D）放进去，本市人都反对+车费，显然，这是足够让议员头疼了。WEAKEN。
E）放进去，本市人付5%税，没有ASSUMPTION说这5%税很高了，显然没有办法推出另外的结论了。所以我想应该这个是没有办法WEAKEN的。

是不是该选E呢，斑竹？

对不起，刚才让一个因为咱们坛里转了他的一篇机警，就来声讨的家伙给气走了，所以等他走我来。
大家还得再看看题。因为，议员的论调基于“低价让交税的人受益”，而E说明外来的也是交税的（这部分人是are many people who commute from outsidethe city to jobs in F），所以议员的提议是不正确的。
打个比方：城市公交车应该主要为城市建设出了力的市民服务，不应该让外省民工成车。但若民工也为城市的建设出了力呢？想想！

是是，
我题目没读清楚。。。
真抱歉，
显然E的是在驳论据（所有的人其实都在赋税）
