請問GWD5 Q20

[James]

那一句是argument?

[Pudding]

從However往後開始是argument...
前面是該argument所反對的內容...
(我覺得... Orz)

James你怎的又開始問問題??

[James]

開始唸書啦
現在先解以前做過的GWD前半部(1-7)
SC及CR都快完成了(1-6)，等RC也解完，
我應該可以開始把剩下沒做的拿來模考

[Behemoth]

james上!!
接下來看你的啦

答案C真的不太懂耶~~

Scientists typically do their most creative work before the age of forty. It is commonly thought that this happens because aging by itself brings about a loss of creative capacity. However, studies show that a disproportionately large number of the scientists who produce highly creative work beyond the age of forty entered their field at an older age than is usual.

C. The first is an explanation that the argument challenges; the second is a finding that has been used in support of that explanation.

明明中間有however,才是推翻前面,怎麼第一句就來challenge....

你需要把黑體字後的文章看完得整段結論

結論:科學家失去創意不是年齡而是因為在同一行業待太久

黑體字第一段:科學家在40歲之前失去創意
黑體字第二段:有很大的比例40歲以後很有創意的科學家在很老的時候進入這個領域

[angela_yj0424]

套用Huang Hsin-yi的一些解釋，我對本題的理解如下︰
黑體字分兩國，1個在however前，1個在however後，證明觀點是相反的。However後開始為論述的觀點，所以1st是被argument反駁的，因because表解釋／原因,所以C.D決選; 2nd是從since開始，代表支持後面的最終結論，給出一個evidence來支持the real reason why scientists over forty rarely produce highly creative work is not due to age but rather because most have spent too long in their fields.（科學家失去創意不是年齡而是因為在同一行業待太久）── C正確: C中的 competing explanation指的是相對於1st（科學家在40歲之前失去創意）， 提出新的解釋 （有很大的比例40歲以後很有創意的科學家在很老的時候進入這個領域）這個解釋是這個是論述支持的。
