[問題] which of the following is/would not be true unless....

[emilting]

請問一下各位前輩
我在OG裡頭做到一種題型,問題都是這樣問的:

which of the following is/would not be true unless it is/were....

請問大家,這個問句的意思是不是要選出一個答案是weaken本文的呢?
又,有一題unless 後面出現were的動詞(好像是假設語氣(與現在事實相反)),
這是否會影響答題呢?


麻煩大家解答一下啦~感激不盡

通常是要選出一個答案「支持」原文推論或找出原文中欠缺的「假設」

你可以看看OG的解釋，看其思維是怎麼走的

Dear emilting
若搭配一兩題例子,可以更明確地說明唷...

[cocaine]

就是選support哩~~~

我舉一個例子好了(抱歉po首篇問題時我人在公司上班沒帶OG...唉,上班族讀書時間都不夠啦~)

OG 122
When people evade income taxes by not declaring taxable income, a vicious cycle results. Tax evasion forces lawmakers to raise income tax rates, which causes the tax burden on nonevading taxpayers to become heavier. This, in turn, encourages even more taxpayers to evade income taxes by hiding taxable income.

The vicious cycle decribed above could not result unless which of the following were true?

答案是C

When lawmakers establish income tax rates to order to generate a certain level of revenues, they do not allow adequately for revenue that will be lost through evasion


另外OG 104也是這種題目...我都看不懂題目到底問的是什麼耶

阿抖下面五個選項套進去上面的文章是true就是答案咩...

這種題目的問法,小弟認為其實跟問assumption類似!!基於何種的前提假設下,才能做出上面的推論...以 本題為例,即沒有答案C的前提假設下,則不會如題目中推論會產生惡性循環!!

OG122 我是想成搞破壞 既然題目是問要讓上述不發生 也就是wealen

taxes evasion ----> raise ----> burden more ----> taxes evasion
把中間任何一個連接破壞 就是weaken

C 說明了 lawmakers 再raise的時候 不會讓taxes evasion產生
重點是在把taxes evasion拔掉 cycle自然斷掉

OG104 問法是在搞破壞 句意大概是：下列是真 結論不成立

簡單翻譯給你..
題目說有個人逃漏稅,這人隱藏可扣稅的收入,這是一種惡性循環.逃漏稅這行為迫使法律制定者去提高稅率,這種方法將導致規矩繳稅的人要繳更多錢.也就是變相的迫使讓更多人逃稅.

答案說法律制定者提高稅率就是要維持一個固定的稅收盈餘,制定者不想讓稅收有損失.
前提就是要固定一個稅收.
這樣應該會有感覺了吧..這就是假設法(給一個前提)

感謝大家~~
我看了OG的解釋,看了半天越看越覺得是要找support的答案,或者是找一個前提...
