OG(11th) Q97

[gotian]

97. Although parapsychology is often considered a pseudoscience, it is in fact a genuine scientific enterprise, for it uses scientific methods such as controlled experiments and statistical tests of clearly stated hypotheses to examine the questions it raises.
The conclusion above is properly drawn if which of the following is assumed?

(a)If a field of study can conclusively answer the questions it raises, then it is a genuine science.

(b)Since parapsychology uses scientific methods, it will produce credible results.

(c)Any enterprise that does not use controlled experiments and statistical tests is not genuine science.

(d)Any field of study that employs scientific methods is a genuine scientific enterprise.

(e)Since parapsychology raises clearly statable questions, they can be tested in controlled experiments.


想請問一下:(1)題目本文中的enterprise要怎麼翻??似乎不是"企業"的樣子 ; (2) 題目本文最後一句話" ...the questions it raises"中 raise a question這個用法的中文翻譯是?

謝謝解釋!!

[dibert8]

(1) enterprise: (具積極挑戰性的)活動

from Merriam-Webster,
enterprise [noun]
a systematic purposeful activity <agriculture is the main economic enterprise among these people>

(2) the questions it raises 應該是指這個學問提出來探討的問題 (it = parapsychology)
