2. Aristotle wrote that a tyrant would be well advised to put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are more tolerant of unjust treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-rearing and pious. Moreover as most subjects believer that even the gods are on the side of the ruler, the subjects are less apt to move against him.
Which one of the following is an assumption on which Aristotle’s argument depends?
(A) The subjects of tyrannical rulers typically believe that there is a power other than the mortal.
(B) A tyrant cannot rule unless he has divine power on his side.
(C) The subjects of tyrannical rulers can rarely be fooled by appearances.
(D) Tyrants who are devoted to religion will not treat their subjects unjustly
(E) For a tyrant, the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion is a more effective means of ruling than unjust treatment
答案：A，　A有点是GAP的假设，请问B为什么不行？
当问假设题时，有两个选项拿不定，该怎么办？取非好象不是太好用。比如B取非：
暴君可以统治，除非有神的保佐，怪怪的。我经常用这种办法拿不定。
A:B还是充分必要条件的问题. 原文指出tyrant可以用XXX方法统治,说明这种方法是充分条件. B把这中方法变成了必要条件,必须用这种方法统治才行. 你看到这种答案要在原文中找逻辑关系, 有没有提到非XXX不可. 我以前举的例子:某制度保证福利,所以必须有某制度才能保证福利. 这里就有A-->B,所以B-->A的逻辑关系. 在此文中不存在这种关系, 所以B错.
