DE选项的纠结可以用取非则weaken 来解决。但是要注意取非是logical negation.而不是polar opposite
用取非则weaken的办法来做会发现:
D选项非后就是,If there are language centers on the left side of the brain, any serious stroke affecting that side of the brain damages none of them.
Stroke不影响语言中心,那么就压根不能推出结论
E取非:
It is possible to determine which side of the brain contains a person's languagecenters if the person has not suffered damage to either side of the brain.可能决定。这种模棱两可的答案怎么可能成为assumption。
This question is trying to state a "general" situation - "Sales of telephones have increased dramatically over the last year".
So one way to attack the final statement in the passage is to state that the generalization does not apply to a specific situation - MI's situation.
increase是普遍的,不适用于M个例。所以削弱就是说M是decrease
B:a state of affairs把the second boldface定义为fact,然而分明是claim,即consideration
the use of genetically engineered seeds of this kind is likely to become widespread——这个明显不是fact
as high as 应该接一个具体值,而不是一个范围
some of our players weigh as much as 300-325 pounds --> bad phrasing
some of our players weigh as much as 325 pounds --> good phrasing
a height of——idiom
of the 230 vs of all/the total of
