Q2:
The average hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland has long been significantly lower than that in neighboring Borodia. Since Borodia dropped all tariffs on Vernlandian televisions three years ago, the number of televisions sold annually in Borodia has not changed. However, recent statistics show a droip in the number of television assemblers in Borodia. Therefore, updated trade statistics will probably indicate that the number of televisions Borodia imports annually from Vernland has increased.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

A. The number of television assemblers in Vernland has increased by at least as much as the number of television assemblers in Borodia has decreased.
B. Televisions assembled in Vernland have features that televisions assembled in Borodia do not have.
C. The average number of hours it takes a Borodian television assembler to assemble a television has not decreased significantly during the past three years.
D. The number of televisions assembled annually in Vernland has increased significantly during the past three years.
E. The difference between the hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland and the hourly wage of television assemblers in Borodia is likely to decrease in the next few years.
Answer: D
為什麼呢?..看不出關聯耶!!!

huh ? isn't answer C ??

I think C is reasonable because the argument is mentioned that "recent statistics show a drop in the number of television assemblers in Borodia."

but it needs to build on the basis of the assumption C.

答案是c沒錯

The average hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland has long been significantly lower than that in neighboring Borodia. (V的單位薪資較低於B)
Since Borodia dropped all tariffs on Vernlandian televisions three years ago, the number of televisions sold annually in Borodia has not changed. (B取消關稅, 但是在B的每年銷量卻不變)
However, recent statistics show a drop in the number of television assemblers in Borodia. (最近統計數據可看出, 在B的電視機組裝工人人數下滑)
Therefore, updated trade statistics will probably indicate that the number of televisions Borodia imports annually from Vernland has increased. (因此, 更新一下數據, 可以得知B每年從V進口的電視機數量增加了)

讀完以上的文章, 可以大概知道這似乎有關工人的生產力的問題. 文章才做出這樣的推論therefore, 我認為是文章中的However是重點, 他說是工人人數變少, 所以B的電視機產量減少, 因此從V進口的必然增加, 但若是升產量效率降低那也會導致減少的產量, 但文章不考慮這一項, 表示他做了這樣的假設, 假設這件事情不是重點, 因此才可以做出therefore的定論.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

A. The number of television assemblers in Vernland has increased by at least as much as the number of television assemblers in Borodia has decreased. 比工人人數, 工人人數並非他提出however的論點, 兩邊的工人生產力可能不同, 不足以說明這樣的變化

B. Televisions assembled in Vernland have features that televisions assembled in Borodia do not have. 特色是無關選項


C. The average number of hours it takes a Borodian television assembler to assemble a television has not decreased significantly during the past three years. 對, 有關生產力的問題, 它必然作出一種假設前提, 假設工人的生產力沒有下降, 這一項被他排除, (因此更新統計數據後很可能發現並非人數減少, 也就是說很可能並非供人減少, 是生產力下滑)
1. 進一步說明就是, 工人工作生產一台電視機的時間若事變多, 那麼整年的生產量就會下滑, 儘管工人的人數不變, 但是升產量還是下滑, 就必須要從V進口電視機來賣, 這樣才能維持The number of TV saled is not changed.
題目卻說是因為供人人數下滑, 如果是工人人數下滑導致, 那麼, 就是生產力不變. 因此, 工人人數不變, 生產下嚴重下滑的可能性被他踢除, 這就是assumption.


D. The number of televisions assembled annually in Vernland has increased significantly during the past three years. (V的地區電視機產量增加不能證明, 誰知道它賣去哪裡? 不見得賣去B, 無法解釋他說的B的工人減少的議題假設前提)


E. The difference between the hourly wage of television
assemblers in Vernland and the hourly wage of television assemblers in Borodia is likely to decrease in the next few years. (薪資差異性無關)

工人數x生產力=量

Q: 工人數減少 x"?生產力"=量減少-->進口
問？生產力

1.工人數減少 x 生產力減少or 維持=量減少
2.工人數減少 x 生產力增加=量不一定減少

Ans(C)就是生產並沒有增加,也就是生產力維持或一定沒有增加
