5. At many colleges today, regulations have been imposed that forbid the use in speech or print of language that “offends” or “insults” the members of any group, especially women and racial, ethnic, and religious minorities. Although these regulations are defended in the name of “democracy,” they restrict freedom of speech and the press in a way that opposes the true spirit of democracy.
The argument above attempts to prove its case primarily by
(A) impugning the credentials of an opponent
(B) providing examples that support a theoretical principle
(C) taking advantage of inconsistencies in the definition of “democracy”
(D) revealing a contradiction in an opposing point of view(D)
(E) appealing to the patriotic feelings of its audience
我选的c 想問錯哪裡
C is appealing but not the true answer, the writer doesn't challenge the definition of democracy. It only says that if colleges have those regulations for the purpose of democracy, then the regulation is wrong because it violates the free speech, which is part of democracy.
14. Dr. A: The new influenza vaccine is useless at best and possibly dangerous. I would never use it on a patient.
Dr. B: But three studies published in the Journal of Medical Associates have rated that vaccine as unusually effective.
Dr. A: The studies must have been faulty because the vaccine is worthless.
In which of the following is the reasoning most similar to that of Dr. A?
(A) Three of my patients have been harmed by that vaccine during the past three weeks, so the vaccine is unsafe.
(B) Jerrold Jersey recommends this milk, and I don’t trust Jerrold Jersey, so I won’t buy this milk.
(C) Wingzz tennis balls perform best because they are far more effective than any other tennis balls.
(D) I’m buying Vim Vitamins. Doctors recommend them more often than they recommend any other vitamins, so Vim Vitamins must be good.(C)
(E) Since LACE>LACETYPE>UniversityLACETYPE> of LACENAME>MuldoonLACENAME>LACE> graduates score about 20 percent higher than average on the GMAT, Sheila Lee, a LACE>LACETYPE>UniversityLACETYPE> of LACENAME>Muldoon graduate, will score about 20 percent higher than average when she takes the GMAT.
我看不出 C和題目的相似性
no reasoning, only conclusion, It's like saying "I am a good man." "Why?" "because I am nice man".
Dr. A says the vaccine is useless but doesn't give the evidence. C is the same, it says "performs best" because it's "more effective". "perform best" is almost the same as "more effective", these two phrases are conclusions not evidence.
18. Don’s, a chain of supermarkets, has entered into an agreement in which Rose Computers will sell Don’s an unlimited number of its least expensive PC’s at one-fourth the regular wholesale price. In return, Don’s has agreed to purchase all of its scanners and other electronic information-processing equipment from Rose or from Omicron, Rose Computers’ parent company, for the next ten years. Don’s will offer a Rose PC free to any school that turns in Don’s register receipts totaling $100,000 within the next six months. The vice-president in charge of advertising for Don’s expects that the computer giveaway will obviate the need for a massive new advertising campaign for the next six months and that Don’s can make up the expenditures for the PC’s by writing them off its income taxes as charitable donations.
The plans formulated by Don’s assume each of the following EXCEPT:
(A) The prices that Rose or Omicron charges Don’s for information-processing equipment over the next ten years will be lower than those charged by other companies.
(B) The tax laws will not be changed to exclude or lessen the value of charitable donations as tax write-offs.
(C) Schools will be sufficiently attracted by Don’s computer giveaway offer that teachers will urge students to shop at Don’s.
(D) Rose will be able to supply Don’s with a sufficient number of PC’s to meet the demand generated by schools that collect Don’s receipts totaling $100,000.(A)
(E) The effect of the computer giveaway offer on Don’s business will be comparable to that of a major advertising campaign.
請問這一題是又哪一類的題型去作答會比較好勒 完全沒有頭緒
I think A is the answer.
Don's doesn't expect the price of for information-processing equipment will be cheaper than other suppliers because Don's uses it as an exchange for cheaper PC. Don's has already benefited from the lower price of the computers.
let me try , see above. |
