GWD 21-38
Because it was long thought that few people would watch lengthy televised political messages, most televised political advertisements, like commercial advertisements, took the form of short messages. Last year, however, one candidate produced a half-hour-long advertisement. During the half hour the advertisement was aired, a substantial portion of the viewing public tuned into the advertisement. Clearly, then, many more people are interested in watching lengthy televised political messages than was previously thought.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

A. The candidate’s ratings improved significantly as a result of the half-hour-long political advertisement.
B. Political advertisements have become increasingly influential in determining voters’ decisions at the polls.
C. Many people would appreciate the opportunity to become better acquainted with political candidates’ views on current political issues.
D. Most people who are interested in political issues watch television regularly.
E. Most of the viewers who tuned in to the candidate’s half-hour-long advertisement last year did not change channels after the first few minutes.

答案是e
如果將e取非,就變成這些看這支廣告的人,才看幾分鐘就轉台了,那整個推論就會被推翻

c選項的意思是很多人會珍惜這個機會：可以更了解政治候選人針對現在政治議題的觀點看法
此選項應該是無關的答案吧...完全無法做結論的assumption，
因為無論c選項存在與否，都對本題結論毫無影響！

這是我的想法，提供給你參考囉！

我的想法是...
(C)(D)反而有點support的味道說~

open to discuss~

提供個方法給你︰Assumption題目先看否定句的選項目（從出題者的角度上來講否定句比較難懂跟肯定句比起來，另外否定句比較容易出assumption的答案，你可以把所有的assumption題目彙總就會發現這樣的規律，當然肯定句是可以編正確答案的，但比較少）就本題而言，只有E是否定句，取非就剛好是答案。另外一個角度，本題是原因==>結論
原因是︰ During the half hour the advertisement was aired, a substantial portion of the viewing public tuned into the advertisement.
結論是︰ Clearly, then, many more people are interested in watching lengthy televised political messages than was previously thought.
那麼答案一定要把原因和結論聯繫起來。原因重點講到的是advertisement,有這個字的選項是A.B.E---讀選項發現只有E有聯繫，其他都無關。
希望可以幫到～
