In 1992 outlaw fishing boats began illegally harvesting lobsters from the territorial waters of the country of Belukia. Soon after, the annual tonnage of lobster legally harvested in Belukian waters began declining; in 1996, despite there being no reduction in the level of legal lobster fishing activity, the local catch was 9,000 tons below pre-1992 levels. It is therefore highly likely that the outlaw fishing boats harvested about 9,000 tons of lobster illegally that year.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
The illegal lobster harvesting was not so extensive that the population of catchable lobsters in Belukia's territorial waters had sharply declined by 1996.
The average annual lobster catch, in tons, of an outlaw fishing boat has increased since 1992.
Outlaw fishing boats do not, as a group, harvest more lobsters than do licensed lobster-fishing boats.
The annual legal lobster harvest in Belukia in 1996 was not significantly less than 9,000 tons.
A significant proportion of Belukia's operators of licensed lobster-fishing boats went out of business between 1992 and 1996.
A-说并没有因为大量非法捕捞而导致总鱼数量减少
果因，assumption来加强果因之间的联系，排除它因。
可以用negation technique来判断A，A的否命题是：The illegal lobster harvesting WAS so extensive that the population of catchable lobsters in Belukia's territorial waters had sharply declined by 1996. 属于可以导致local 捕捉到更少的lobster的原因，weaken原argument。 因此要排除这个它因，was not
这道题真有意思，虽然读出了assumption需要涵盖‘总量不变’的意思，但是没有读出A项中的so... that...句型。答案A用not so extensive that...表达出了‘’总量并没有明显下降‘’的意思。
同意！我也是这样！感觉还是自己需要加强阅读中隐含的逻辑思维的捕捉能力
是啊，这题果断是语义辨析...
可以帮忙翻译一下A吗？谢谢！
