Distressed by his own personal tragedies, the Roman philosopher Cicero once asked himself whether a wise person should try to achieve the Stoic ideal of complete emotionlessness. Cicero reasoned that, however desirable the goal may be, a wise person could never attain it, since emotions are not simply irrational urges. They are, rather, a product of one’s estimate of the goodness and badness of the events, people, and actions one witnesses.
Which of the following is an assumption required by Cicero’s reasoning?
Wise people inevitably evaluate at least some of the things they observe.
Irrationality makes evaluation of what one observes impossible.
Wisdom precludes attempting to attain what one cannot.
If evaluations are based only on reason, then they are inaccurate.
A wise person will not evaluate what cannot be directly observed.
logic chain - Emotions are not irrational urges. They are a product of combination of estimation of events and observations -> Wise person can never achieve the goals
还是不太理解为什么第一答案是assumption, inevitably evaluate from the observation
首先，加强和假设问法本质上是一样的，GMAT和GRE考试中都没必要区分。
其次，这个题目的结论是：聪明人永远不可能达到无情。前提是：情感是人们对好坏的评估（也就是你只要评估了，就会有情）。选项A其实就是在连接这个前提和结论。也就是，聪明人至少得评估一些他们看见的事情。如果他们可以做到完全不评估的话，那不就可以无情了嘛
