Press Secretary: Our critics claim that the president's recent highway project cancellations demonstrate a vindictive desire to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties. They offer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts. But all of the canceled projects had been identified as wasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisan auditors. So the president's choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary's argument depends?
Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the president to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.
The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the president's party.
The number of projects canceled was a significant proportion of all the highway projects that were to be undertaken by the government in the near future.
The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the president's party were not generally more expensive than the projects canceled in districts controlled by opposition parties.
Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects.
90%被取消的高速公路项目都在对方政党的管辖范围内，但是被取消的项目都由一个中立的财物审计员所认定。因此总统的行为是出于预算考虑，而不是想要惩罚对手。问assume
choice b, 在报告中被认定是浪费的项目中，并不是大多数都在总统的管辖范围内。取非，浪费的项目大多数在总统的治理区域内，削弱结论。说明同样的浪费项目，总统专挑对手的浪费项目去砍掉
choice d, 总统管理范围内被取消的项目并不普遍比对方被砍掉的项目更加贵。strengthen the conclusion, 说明的确出于预算砍掉项目
