10. In order to pressure the government of Country S to become less repressive, some legislators in Country R want to ban all exports from R to S. Companies in R that manufacture telecommunication equipment such as telephones and fax machines have argued that exports of their products should be exempted from the ban, on the ground that it is impossible for a country to remain repressive when telecommunication equipment is widely available to the population of that country.

Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument given by the manufacturers depends?

(A) The government of S has recently increased the amount of telecommunication equipment it allows to be imported into the country.
(B) The telecommunication equipment that would be imported into S if the exemption were to be granted would not be available solely to top development officials in S.
(C) A majority of the members of R’s legislature do not favor exempting telecommunication equipment from the ban on exports to Country S.
(D) Of all exports that could be sent to Country S, telecommunication equipment would be the most effective in helping citizens of S oppose that country’s repressive government.
(E) Without pressure from Country R, the government of S would be able to continue repressing its citizens indefinitely.

Ans:B 但是我覺得A也對阿
這兩者有何區別阿?

在本題中主要的推論在於"當電信設備廣泛被使用時,一個國家比較難壓迫他的人民"

所以A選和B選的差異在
A只有提到說會有更多的電信設備進入S國,但作何用途,如何減少壓迫...並沒有被提到

但B就有描述到這些電信設備不會只給官員用...也就是大眾都可以使用
在B成立下,則本題的推論才可成立
所以B會比較好
