Studies have shown that people are swayed more by communications they believe are not intended to persuade than by those they believe are. Many politicians use this to their advantage by giving the impression of impromptu speech, when in fact their rhetoric is carefully scripted. Politicians who are skilled at giving this impression are thus able to convince many otherwise resistant listeners to adopt their point of view.
Which of the following is an assumption required by the explanation above?
Listeners who are most successful at resisting politicians' rhetoric are those who know that that rhetoric is scripted.
Most people cannot distinguish between communications that are and are not intended to persuade.
Politicians are more skilled than most people at convincing listeners that their scripted rhetoric is actually impromptu.
Politicians who are honest about their intention to persuade are generally less successful than those who are dishonest about their intention to persuade.
Many people do not believe that impromptu speech is intended to be persuasive.
B. 大多数人无法区分意在劝说和无意劝说的交流:鉴于本选项是否定句,我们进行取非—— 大多数人可以区分“意在劝说”和“无意劝说”的交流。但不管能不能区分,如果我们无法得知大家把即兴演讲归为哪类,那么我们就无法判断大家会不会被政治学家忽悠成功。
E. 正确。很多人不相信即兴演讲是劝说意图明显的:鉴于本选项是否定句,我们进行取非——很多人认为即兴演讲是劝说意图明显的。如果大家一开始就把即兴演讲归为“劝说意图明显”的一类,那么无论政治学家怎么忽悠,听众都不会“上当”。
