b]w：The rapid rise in the rate of unemployment is a serious
economic problem；it will undoubtedly cost the majority

the party that happens to be in the majority at election time.


Which of the following most seriously weakens the force of Z's
counterargument？

(A) Z fails to cite any actual figures.
(B) Z's decision to consider a time span of 40 years seems arbitray.
(C) Z relies on conventional criteria for the notion of a significant
relationship.
(D) Z's statistics focus on level of unemployment, rather than
direction of change.
(E) Z assumes that there is no connection between economic and
political trends.[/b]



Answer：D

這題是來自欣謝老師邏輯11回講義中第五回的第86題
當時謝老師是說 w 說的是trend 而 z是指level
現在回頭再看 不太懂什麼意思
麻煩大家解答囉

紅色指的是趨勢,綠色指的是level
也就是說,w說失業人口的改變量(趨勢)會影響選舉
z說失業人口的程度(level)不會影響選舉
所以基本上他們講的是不同的東西
