今日练习题为逻辑题,题目如下
A report that many apples contain a cancer-causing preservative called Alar apparently had little effect on consumers. Few consumers planned to change their apple-buying habits as a result of the report. Nonetheless, sales of apples in grocery stores fell sharply in March, a month after the report was issued.
Which of the following, if true, best explains the reason for the apparent discrepancy described above?
A In March, many grocers removed apples from their shelves in order to demonstrate concern about their customers’ health.
B Because of a growing number of food-safety warnings, consumers in March were indifferent to such warnings.
C The report was delivered on television and also appeared in newspapers.
D The report did not mention that any other fruit contains Alar, although the preservative is used on other fruit.
E Public health officials did not believe that apples posed a health threat because only minute traces of Alar were present in affected apples.
正确答案:
A
题目解析:
Premise:报道有问题的苹果产生很小影响,很少人会改变购买习惯。
Conclusion:然而销量还是下滑了。
问题是best explain,那么就要解释因果关系论证。
因为不是削弱,是加强,所以B,C很容易排除,无关选项。
D选项虽然可以联想其他水果会卖得更好所以这个苹果就相应少了,但是可以理解为间接因果关系,没有对直接因果关系进行论证,也就是没有让premise涵盖conclusion。
E选项也是无关选项,并不能起到任何加强或削弱。
所以选A。
