LSAT-3-1-6[求助]

Questions 6-7

Rotelle: You are too old to address effectively the difficult issues facing the country, such as nuclear power, poverty, and pollution.

Sims: I don't want to make age an issue in this campaign. so i will not comment on your youth and inexperience.

6. Sims does which one of the following?

(A) demonstrates that Rotelle's claim is incorrect

(B) avoids mentioning the issue of age

(C) proposes a way to decide which issues are important.

(D) shows that Rotelle's statement is self-contradictory

(E) fails to respond directly to Rotelle's claim
答案是E。但我不明白为什么。按我的理解Sims用了巧妙的办法回应了对方。

R说S太老了,所以。。。。。
如果S是直接回答的话就应该是我不是很老,所以你的结论是错误的
原文中S的回答是把年龄和经验联系起来作为一个回应,所以他的回答是fails to

respond directly

谢谢!
可能是因为我对英语的语感还不是太好,始终觉得fails to respond directly是一种负面的评价。

I don't want to make age an issue in this campaign indirect.

 In my view, sims' refutation is not as subtle as you may think. On one

side he says that he doesn't want to talk about issues such as age in the

campaign, on the other side, however, he added immediately that he won't

comment on his competitor's youth and inexperience. Indeed his reply is

more contradictory than subtle.

The easiest way to crack down this kind of question is try to exclude one

by one the listed choices. For example, Sims doesn't make any judgement

about whether R's claim is correct, so A can be removed. He does mention

the issue of age, so the answer cannot be B; HE mentionned nothing about

which issues are important (C)nor did he say anything about the

contradictioriness of R's statement (D).

In fact, it is true that sims didn't respond directly. In his reply, he

indicated clearly that he didn't want to talk about the issue. That's why

choice E is the right answer.

hope it helps...

这道题考的就是:在面对逻辑问题的时候不要用生活中的眼光。如果从一般的思维看,R在利用年龄问题搞人身攻击,而S巧妙的回应。但是用逻辑的思维,S反驳R应该要么说我还不老,要么说老和能力无关,或其他理由来直接反驳R。但题目中S的说法,就好像:“你说我有这个问题,我还说你有那个毛病呢!”实际是默认了R的话。

这道题我是这样想的:

R: too old --> can not address effectively...

如果 S 是 respond directly to R's claim 的话,

S 应该这样削弱R:too old --> neg(can not address effectively...) 即:too

old --> can address effectively...

而S没有这样,所以他没有respond directly to R's claim
