[求助]不懂infer题,附一例

below is an excerpt from a letter that was sent by the chairman of a corporation to the stockholders.
a number of charges have been raised against me, some serious, some trivial. individuals seeking to control the corporation for their own purposes have demanded my resignation. remember that no court of law in any state has found me guilty of any criminal offense whatsoever. in the american tradition, as you know, an individual is considered innocent until proven guilty. furthermore, as the corporation’s unbroken six-year record of growth will show, my conduct of my official duties as chairman has only helped enhance the success of the corporation, and so benefited every stockholder.
which of the following can be properly inferred from the excerpt?
(a) the chairman believes that all those who have demanded his resignation are motivated by desire to control the corporation for their own purposes.
(b) any misdeeds that the chairman may have committed were motivated by his desire to enhance the success of the corporation.
(c) the chairman is innocent of any criminal offense.
(d) the corporation has expanded steadily over the past six years.
(e) any legal proceedings against the chairman have resulted in his acquittal.
答案是d。a呢

A is not correct.


First of all, inference is like assumption question, you can test the answer by putting negative statement back into the argument. If the statements in the argument do not hold any more, the choice is the answer.


In this one, negative D will be that the company did not grow steadily over the past 6 years, contradicting one of the statements in the argument. So D is correct.


A is not because negative A is that the chairman does not believe .... The question is whether this statement contradicts any statement in the argument. I say no because he can say one thing and believe another. For example, Bush said that illegal immigrants have made great contribution to the US. If I say Bush does not believe that this immigrants did anything, I do not think they run contrary to each other
