Q26:
In countries where automobile insurance includes compensation for whiplash injuries sustained in automobile accidents, reports of having suffered such injuries are twice as frequent as they are in countries where whiplash is not covered. Some commentators have argued, correctly, that since there is presently no objective test for whiplash, spurious reports of whiplash injuries cannot be readily identified. These commentators are, however, wrong to draw the further conclusion that in the countries with the higher rates of reported whiplash injuries, half of the reported 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 the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?

A. The first is a finding whose accuracy is evaluated in the argument; the second is an intermediate conclusion drawn to support the judgment reached by the argument on the accuracy of that finding.
B. The first is a finding whose accuracy is evaluated in the argument; the second is evidence that has been used to challenge the accuracy of that finding.
C. The first is a finding whose implications are at issue in the argument; the second is an intermediate conclusion that has been used to support a conclusion that the argument criticizes.
D. The first is a claim that the argument disputes; the second is a narrower claim that the argument accepts.
E. The first is a claim that has been used to support a conclusion that the argument accepts; the second is that conclusion.

Answer: C

這題找關鍵字要小心...有點賤...第二句BF部分前面是接argued that...不要被騙了(不過這題用不到這部分就結束了)....

解題步驟:
先找有無轉折詞...有! 轉折詞前面句子同一國...後面句子同一國..兩國立場不同..
但argument一定是屬後面那一國...
發現兩句黑體字都在同一國....和argument不同國....刪A.B.D.E(藍色)

BF題有90%以上不用去閱讀...出出來等於是送分....他頂多在答案選項把句子節構轉來轉去讓你選不到...但練習慣就知道...怎麼玩就那幾招~~~

但argument一定是屬後面那一國...

意思就是argument是指寫這篇文章作者所持的立場….除非是引用他人看法(但是邏輯BF題不會這樣搞)….轉折詞後一定是作者的立場…不可能用轉折詞來否定自己立場…轉折詞通常都是作者用來準備幹ㄍㄧㄠ前面的立場….所以轉折詞後面寫的東西一定是和argument站在同一邊…不管是下結論…提出證據..或是講原因…都是支持同一個立場…

In countries where automobile insurance includes compensation for whiplash injuries sustained in automobile accidents, reports of having suffered such injuries are twice as frequent as they are in countries where whiplash is not covered. Presently, no objective test for whiplash exists, so it is true that spurious reports of whiplash injuries cannot be readily identified. Nevertheless, these facts do not warrant a conclusion that has been drawn by some commentators: that in the countries with the higher rates of reported whiplash injuries, half of the reported 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 the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?

A. The first is a claim that the argument disputes; the second is a conclusion that has been based on that claim.
B. The first is claim that has been used to support a position that the argument accepts; the second 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 accuracy of 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 issue in the argument; the second is an objection that has been raised against the explanation that the argument defends.
