Critics of certain pollution-control regulations have claimed that the money spent over the last decade in order to reduce emissions of carbon monoxide and of volatile organic compounds has been wasted. The evidence they offer in support of this claim might appear compelling: despite the money spent, annual emissions of these pollutants have been increasing steadily. This evidence is far from adequate, however, since over the last decade a substantial number of new industrial facilities that emit these pollutants have been built.
In the reasoning given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
The first identifies a claim that the reasoning seeks to show is false; the second is evidence that has been cited by others in support of that claim.
The first identifies a claim that the reasoning seeks to show is false; the second is a position for which the reasoning seeks to provide support.
The first is a position that the reasoning contends is inadequately supported by the evidence; the second is a position for which the reasoning seeks to provide support.
The first is a position that the reasoning contends is inadequately supported by the evidence; the second is evidence used to support the reasoning's contention.
The first is a position that the reasoning contends is inadequately supported by the evidence; the second is evidence that has been used to support that position.
position指的是“认为钱浪费了”————reasoning是反对position的,认为“钱并没有浪费”
注意2是支持argument的contention,不是支持1
没有完全理解选项的意思
A错在哪里啦?
推理过程没想说claim错,而是说claim的证据不足
A: the second is evidence that has been cited by others in support of that claim. THAT CLAIM 指的是A前半句中的claim即 money has been wasted. 说反了,不是support是object。
E为啥错了呢大家
E和D的区别在于第二黑:
D: 第二黑是支持提供"反对(contention)"理由的证据,所以是反对一黑
E: 第二黑支持第一黑(The first is a "position"...; the second is evidence to support "that position")
