GWD4-Q20

[QQcandy]

Q20:
Community activist: If Morganville wants to keep its central shopping district healthy, it should prevent the opening of a huge SaveAll discount department store on the outskirts of Morganville. Records from other small towns show that whenever SaveAll has opened a store outside the central shopping district of a small town, within five years the town has experienced the bankruptcies of more than a quarter of the stores in the shopping district.

The answer to which of the following would be most useful for evaluating the community activist’s reasoning?

A. Have community activists in other towns successfully campaigned against the opening of a SaveAll store on the outskirts of their towns?
B. Do a large percentage of the residents of Morganville currently do almost all of their shopping at stores in Morganville?
C. In towns with healthy central shopping districts, what proportion of the stores in those districts suffer bankruptcy during a typical five-year period?
D. What proportion of the employees at the SaveAll store on the outskirts of Morganville will be drawn from Morganville?
E. Do newly opened SaveAll stores ever lose money during their first five years of operation?

Anyone explain why B is wrong ???

We have a skill to sovle this kind of question.
Please transform the qusetion in options into normal sentence.
For example:
option B=> a large percentage of the residents of Morganville currently do almost all of their shopping at stores in Morganville.

雖然文章說within five years the town has experienced the bankruptcies of more than a quarter of the stores in the shopping district.
但是倒閉不一定是因為SaveAll discount department store的緣故

so 要evaluate the community activist’s reasoning 就必須去看那些在shopping district中的商店本身的體質
--> 也就是C answer所說的"一般在5年之中的倒店情況是如何"
--> 如果C的答案是"YES"的話...就可以否定(他因)community activist的論證


小妹拙見 :-$ 有錯請指正

題目是說為了讓shopping district healthy所以不可以開SaveAll discount department store因為開了之後五年會有1/4在shopping district的店倒閉
言下之意就是....1/4的店倒閉這件事是不healthy的....
C的選項則是要我們問...healthy的地方五年內倒店的百分比是多少
如果要倒店1/4以下才算healthy的話那麼題目的reasoning就是正確的
如果倒店1/4以上也是healthy....那麼題目的reasoning就是錯誤的...

選c，正常的五年內一般都多少破產

如果正常年份，破產比四分之一還多，那不是就不能証明對便利商店的危害了，因為設立S對其影嚮不大

如果正常破產小於四分之一，設立了S之後，使得便利商店的破產增多至四分之一， 就可以証明作者的論點了

因此
C. In towns with healthy central shopping districts, what proportion of the stores in those districts suffer bankruptcy during a typical five-year period?
正常的五年內一般都多少破產 ，為其評估要點

先前我還不甚確定為何c對，但你的解釋相當清楚，我了解了，謝謝你

[shine_allen]

可是我覺得b也沒錯阿,我還是不懂b錯的原因
,就我的理解:
B.do a large percentage of the residents of Morganville currently do almost all of their shopping at stores in Morganville?
是說:如果大部分的人最近原本就不在這消費的話,那跟新的店有沒有來
就沒關係了,因為該倒的還是會倒,這樣不是可以用來evaluate嗎?

[hccill]

我覺得(B)選項的關鍵字在於"currently", 沒錯, 也許大部分的人現在都不在這消費, 但我們無法堆得五年後的情形是怎樣, 所以也就無法評估囉!

如果有錯還請指正

謝謝!

我覺得ANS:B選錯的原因是:
題目是問下列哪個選項可用來評估community activist的reasoning???
B表示大多數M的居民目前在Morganville裡會不會消費?
→很明顯與community activist所講的內容八干子打不著!!!!

這題community activist表示
若M要維持其中心購物區healthy,
則它應該要防止S折扣店在其街尾開設.
理由是來自於其他小鎮的記錄顯示:
當這家S折扣店開在小鎮中心購物區附近時,
這個鎮五年內有多達四分之一的商店破產
問下列哪個選項可用來評估community activist的reasoning???

以下是我解題的方式

看到這個問題時,可先不要看選項,
心裡先默想“其他城鎮可以與M類比”嗎??
這是我寫AWA中毒太深產生的反應,
接著看選項找與community activist所表述的內容相關的,
因此C選就呼之喻出了!!!
1.In towns with healthy與M想要維持healthy可以做類比
2.在這五年期間有多少家店倒閉與community activist所表述的內容相關

假設有100家店有50家倒閉支持activist的理由;
反之才1家倒閉就矛盾了,

因此,C選可用來評估這位community activist的論証….

像在考閱讀重點.

[stanyou168]

應該是C
應該要先了解哪些種類的商店會遭到S百貨的影響，如果Morganville的shopping district 只有極少部份的商店會被S百貨影響 ，那麼activitist 可能是多慮了
