真題一道

In countries where automobile insurance includes compensation for whiplash injuries sustained in automobile accidents, reports of having suffered such injuries are twice as frequentsly as they are in countries where whiplas is not convered. Some commentators have argued, correctly, that since there is presently no objective test for whiplash, spurious reports of whiplash injuries cannot be really identified. These commentators are, however, wrong to draw the further conclusion that in the countries with higher rates of reported whiplash injuries, half of the report cases are spurious: clearly, in countries where automobile insurance does not include compensation for whiplash, people often have little incentive to report whiplash injuries that they actually have suffered.

In this argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?

A)The first claim the argument disputes; the second is a conclusion that has been based on that claim.

B)The first claim that has been used to support a position that the argument accepts; the seond is a position that the argument rejects.

C)The first is a finding whose accuracy is evaluated in the argument; the second is the judgment reached by the argument concerning the finding.

D)The first is a finding whose implications are at issue in the argument; the second is the judgment reached by the argument concerning one alleged implication.

E)The first is a finding, the explanation of which is at issued in the argument; the second is an objection that has been raised against the explanation that the argument defends.

答案:D
我想問得第二句boldfaced是什麼作用
註: whiplash(車從後方被撞而引起的)頸部扭傷,spurious假的偽造的,alleged聲稱的可疑的,

第二個bold face的內容,簡單來說就是本段要推翻的論點...
下一句話開始,則為推翻的理由!!
