OG11th-Q15

[rola1225]

A researcher studying drug addicts found that, on average, they tend to manipulate other people a great deal more than nonaddicts do. The researcher concluded that people who frequently manipulate other people are likyly to become addicts.

Which of the following, if true, seriously weakens the researcher's conclusion ??

a) After becoming addicted to drugs, drug addicts learn to manipulate other people as a way of obtaining drugs.

b) When they are imprisoned, drug addicts often use their ability to manipulate other people to obtain better living conditions.

c) Some nonaddicts manipulate other people more than addicts do.

d) People who are likyly to become addicts exhibit unusual behavior patterns other than frequent manipulation of ther people.

e) The addicts that the researcher studied were often unsuccessful in obtaining what they wanted when thay manipulated other people.

我知道這題是 a 較好，但能否請版上的大大告訴我 d 的中文翻譯呀 ??
我的理解是，除了 frequent manipulation of ther people這個usual behavior pattern 以外，People who are likyly to become addicts 也會顯示unusual的behavior patterns.
other than在字典的意思是 except(often used in negative phrase)
而 unusual 就是一個 negative的字，所以我才有這樣的理解。

(d)那些可能上癮的人們展現出不尋常的行為特徵, 撇除經常控制別人--------離題

謝謝Huang Hsin-Yi大大的回答

我一開始也是這樣想的，但如果d的意思是 "那些可能上癮的人們展現出不尋常的行為特徵, 撇除經常控制別人"
那是不是就是說 "那些可能上癮的人們展現出不尋常的行為特徵, 而沒有展現出控制別人的行為特徵" ??
如果是的話，那不就是 weaken嗎 ??

CR第一條,選項必殺技---講述與題目不合之選項
讓我們再看一次題目講什麼
drug addicts found that, on average, they tend to manipulate other people a great deal more than nonaddicts do.
