[問題]真題一道

The town of Cresset has recently banned smoking in all restaurants within the town limits. There is strong evidence that the ban will prove very demanding to the restaurant business in Cresset. Obviously smokers who normally dine in Cresset's restaurants will not want to refrain from smoking during their meals, and since there are plenty of restaurants in adjacent communities, none of which has antismoking regulations, that is where those smokers will go. In fact, even groups composed mostly of nonsmokers will probably choose restaurants outside Cresset, since, presumably, they would wish to accommodate the smokers among them. Towns other than Cresset that have instituted smoking bans in situations similar to Cresset's have already seen business volume in their restaurants decline.

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

A: the first provides evidence to support each of two intermediate
conclusions that support the main conclusion; the second states one of
those intermediate conclusions.

B: the first is evidence supporting an intermediate conclusion that
supports the main conclusion; the second states the main conclusion.

C: the first states an objection to the main conclusion; the second
provides evidence to overcome that objection.

D: the first provides support for the main conclusion; the second is
evidence that has been used to support the poosition opposed by the
argument.

E: each states an assumption that is made in arguing for the main
conclusion.


答案: the first one. (X加講義題目)

我想請問一下two intermediate conclusions 指的是哪兩個阿?

thanks!!!

我想應該是指抽煙者會去鄰近community用餐以及非抽煙者也會去鄰近community用餐這兩個intermediate conclusions!!

上面粗體就是intermediate conclusion
