OG12-89

Since it has become known that several of a bank's top executives have been buying shares in their own bank,the bank's depositors,who had been worried by rumors that the bank faced implending financial collapse,have been greatly relieved. The reason that, since top executives evidently have faith in the bank's financial soundness, those worrisome rumors must be false.Such reasoning might well be overoptimistic, however,since corporate  executives have been known to buy shares in their own company in a calculated attempt to dispel negative rumors about the company's health.
BF题
我就纠结于两个答案
A The first describes evidence that has been taken as supporting a conclusin;the second gives a reason for questing that support
D The first describes the circumstance that the argument as a whole seeks to explain;the second gives the explanation that the argument seeks
to establish.
答案选A，可我咋也想不明白，我选的是D。
麻烦大家乐

原文意思是：因为现在几个银行的高层们开始购买自己银行的股份（第一部分黑体字），这个银行那些之前为银行财政崩溃谣言所困扰的储户们可以松一口气了。因为银行高层的购买行为证明了他们对银行财政方面的信心，那些令人担忧的谣言一定是错误的。但是，这样的论断未免太乐观了，因为那些高层们知道他们的购买行为会消除那些不利传闻（ie.通过有意的制造有利假象来驱散谣言。第二部分黑体字）。A说，第一部分黑体字是用来证明一个结论（ie.谣言是假的，公司财政良好）。第二部分作为论证来质疑这样的支持性。D说第一部分黑体字是描述了一个情况--整篇argument都想试图去解释的一个情况。不是这样啊，原文并不想去解释这样一个现象。最后确实提到了高层买股份有利于驱散谣言，但这个不是主旨，主旨是想解释说仅仅基于这个现象就乐观未必理智。

这题我也选D刚开始。。看了viviansecret的解释恍然大悟。。。

可能题目把SINCE提前的原因引起误会。。。

关键是要弄明白哪个是conclusion，哪个是support,哪个是argument。bf题我也常晕，看选项恨不得总觉得哪个都有道理。
