OG12-90题，E选项为什么不对呢？

90.A new law gives ownership of patents—documents

providing exclusive right to make and sell an

invention—to universities, not the government, when

those patents result from government-sponsored

university research. Administrators at Logos
University

plan to sell any patents they acquire to corporations in

order to fund programs to improve undergraduate

teaching.

Which of the following, if true, would cast the most

doubt on the viability of the college administrators’

plan described above?

(A) Profit-making corporations interested in

developing products based on patents held by

universities are likely to try to serve as exclusive

sponsors of ongoing university research

projects.

(B) Corporate sponsors of research in university

facilities are entitled to tax credits under new

federal tax-code guidelines.

(C) Research scientists at Logos
University have few

or no teaching responsibilities and participate

little if at all in the undergraduate programs in

their field.

(D) Government-sponsored research conducted at

Logos
University for the most part duplicates

research already completed by several profitmaking

corporations.

(E) Logos
University is unlikely to attract corporate

sponsorship of its scientific research.

E想为什么不对呢？LU不能吸引corporate sponsorship就更直接的说明不可能筹到钱呀.

能不能麻烦哪位强人帮我把这道题的文章翻译一遍，thanks~

og的解释说到了什么resulting from government-sponsored research，文章不是只说卖给corporations
in order to筹资

为什么一定要是政府的？

Og解释：E The plan concerns selling patents resulting from government-sponsored research, not attracting

corporate sponsorship for research.

OG的解释其实蛮清楚了。我这里增加几个关键点：
Administrators at Logos University plan to sell any patents they acquire to corporations in order to fund programs to improve undergraduate teaching.
这里any patents they acquire所指的是第一句话里提到的政府资助，但是被判给学校的研究专利。整段话的重心是讨论LU通过卖政府资助所产生的专利来提高本科教学质量的可能性。
E可以说是完全无关的因为他讲的东西跟政府资助所产生的专利没有丝毫关系。因此作为无关选项排除。
