[求助]OG - 43 & 45

OG 第43题, (文章line 24~28):

In 1977, 34 percent of government clerical workers were represented by a labor organization, compared with 46 percent of government professionals, 44 percent of government blue-collar workers, and 41 percent of government service workers.

题目问哪一种worker的比例最高, 看起来太简单了, 我就觉得奇怪, 为什么total 超过100%, 于是觉得后面三个应该是46%当中包含了44%的blue-collar & 41%的service workers, 结果选错了… 可是还是不太懂, 这四种人加起来为什么会超过100%啊? (有点弱智的问题, 不要笑偶….)

第45题:

The author’s claim that, since the mid-1970’s, a new strategy has emerged in the unionization of public-sector clerical workers would be strengthened if the author

A. described more fully the attitudes of clerical workers toward labor unions

B. compared the organizing strategies employed by private-sector unions with those of public-sector unions

C. explained why politicians and administrators sometimes oppose unionization of clerical workers

D. indicated that the number of unionized public-sector clerical workers was increasing even before the mid-1970’s

E. showed that the factors that favored unionization drives among these workers prior to 1975 have decreased in importance

我看得懂为什么E是正确的答案, 可是为什么A / C不行呢?

我第一次看的时候选A, 因为觉得如果可以表明clerical workers的态度 & 立场, 就可以support其比例增加这个状况 (比如: 大家的态度都是越来越倾向于A的观点, 因此选择站在A这一边….)

第二次看的时候又选了C, 因为觉得如果politicians and administrators会oppose这些人, 表示后者越来越壮大了所以前者会害怕….

不晓得这样的想法问题出在哪里呢? 请前辈们赐教啊~~!

这是算增长比例, 而不是算以在同一单位的比例

The author’s claim that, since the mid-1970’s, a new strategy has emerged in the unionization of public-sector clerical workers would be strengthened if the author E. showed that the factors that favored unionization drives among these workers prior to 1975 have decreased in importance

本题的定位在第二段的比例增长的描述与后面接续段落的的详细描述, 但如果有证据去说在1975年前的降低重要性因素(from OG: the author's claim would be strengthen if it could be shown that old circumstances discussed in the first paragraph have become less important)

换句话说, 用过去的"不重视"去加强"之后新策略的重要性"

A. described more fully the attitudes of clerical workers toward labor unions

attitude 与 receptivity只是一个对旧现象(prior mid-1970)的影响因素, 只是被用来阐述为何union疏忽的原因

C. explained why politicians and administrators sometimes oppose unionization of clerical workers

这个原文没说吧....
