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.
这道题搞清楚A: canceled projects 和 B: wasteful projects 不一样 很重要。A是B的一个子集。比如说 A=100, B=200，B可以认为是report中认为是wasteful的，而A是真正被取消的，包含在B中。
原文中说90%的A是在opposition party, 也就是说一共有90个opposition party的project被cancel，同理，有10个president party的project被cancel。在这样的情况下（一方被cancel很多而另一方较少），要说明cancellation是公平的，没有对party的偏见，就要说明opposition party大部分都是wasteful所以才被cancel了这么多，而president的并没有很多wasteful project。 这也就是B选项所说的。
这个怎么看出来啊，我当时就觉得a＝b，然后B选项就是直接反对90%～果断排除了。。。
虽然做对了，但是是因为其他选项不靠谱。我一直也在琢磨有个地方好像不对，你打开了朕的心结。
问题不是出在思维上，而是特么句子理解上。
