Three large companies and seven small companies currently manufacture a product with potential military applications. If the government regulates the industry, it will institute a single set of manufacturing specifications to which all ten companies will have to adhere. In this case, therefore, since none of the seven small companies can afford to convert their production lines to a new set of manufacturing specifications, only the three large companies will be able to remain in business.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the author's argument relies?
None of the three large companies will go out of business if the government does not regulate the manufacture of the product.
It would cost more to convert the production lines of the small companies to a new set of manufacturing specifications than it would to convert the production lines of the large companies.
Industry lobbyists will be unable to dissuade the government from regulating the industry.
Assembly of the product produced according to government manufacturing specifications would be more complex than current assembly procedures.
None of the seven small companies currently manufactures the product to a set of specifications that would match those the government would institute if the industry were to be regulated.
P:small companies can't 转换生产线 to 满足 政府的新生产规范new manufacturing specifications
C: only large companies remain (即,small companies not remain)
搭桥:E 小公司不能满足整改要求,留不下来,所以只有大公司留的下来
选项E(√)
None of the seven small companies currently manufactures the product to a set of specifications that would match those the government would institute if the industry were to be regulated.
目前,这七家 small companies没有一家按照政府在行业受到监管时制定的规格来生产产品。;取非:至少有其中一家 small companies 按照政府规范来生产产品,那 small companies就会remain,即不会只有large companies留下来 remain,所以削弱题干的结论( only large companies remain)。
