10. GWD26-Q10
Lawmaker: Raising taxes is not the only means of reducing government debt. The government’s stockpile of helium is worth 25 percent more, at current market prices, than the debt accumulated in acquiring and storing it. Therefore, by selling the helium, the government can not only pay off that debt but reduce its overall debt as well.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A.    The government has no current need for helium.
B.    Twenty-five percent of the debt the government has accumulated in stockpiling helium is not an insignificant portion of the government’s total debt.
C.    It is not in the lawmaker’s interest to advocate raising taxes as a means of reducing government debt.
D.    Attempts to sell the government’s helium will not depress the market price of helium by more than 25 percent.
E.    The government will not incur any costs in closing its facilities for stockpiling helium.

答案是D

我觉得也可以用排除他因解释，D是唯一一个取非了结论就不成立的选项

明白了，我浅显的的觉得所谓 assumption 和 weaken 题大多数最优答案，就是在结论与 最最支持结论的论据（也就是结论所依赖的最主要的论据）中间架桥或断桥~~

呵呵，谢谢啊。我明白了～

呵呵，选A我完全明白你的想法，但是你换个角度想一想，本题题目是措施题，提出一个措施来解决一个问题，措施是前提，解决的问题的结果，如果ASSUMPTION的话，必定要在措施和结果之间去假设一个桥梁，然后如果假设不成立要有一个断桥削弱的效果。如果D成立，那么即使卖出H货品也不能解决问题，但是如果A取非的话，最多就是卖出H货品这个方案不可行，文章既然是逻辑就注重的一个推倒的过程，直接否定前提的题目也有，但是作为ASSUMPTION的题一般都是拥有取非然后断桥削弱的特性。所以D比A好

不知道这么说你能不能明白，呵呵。

Fuckitup

在B中  debt  is not an insignificant portion 意思是有比较大的比重

B取非得话就是 debt比例小与 囤积 没有关系        排除

那A选项呢？

选D。
要是政府抛售天量氦，当然造成国际市场氦价格大跌，到时候就不是溢价25%卖

出了，搞不好要赔本。
