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.
结论：总统取消项目是出于预算考虑，而非政治打击
需要给出假设。其实就是说，在相同的情况下，在取消项目的角度，总统不会因为选区的不同而取消项目。
A：是否是唯一的惩罚手段，这和假设无关
B：在报告中，被认为是浪费的项目并不主要是总统的选区，正确。取非后，如果大部分被标记为浪费的项目是总统的选区，但总统取消的90%的项目是在反对党选区，这就不公平了
