【OG20-P584-681题】
A prominent investor who holds a large stake in the Burton Tool Company has recently claimed that the company is mismanaged, citing as evidence the company’s failure to slow down production in response to a recent rise in its inventory of finished products. It is doubtful whether an investors sniping at management can ever be an thing other than counterproductive, but in this case, it is clearly not justified. It is true that an increased inventory of finished products often indicates that production is outstripping demand, but in Burton's case it indicates no such thing. Rather, the increase in inventory Is entirely attributable to Products that have already been assigned to orders received from customers.
In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
-
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It is true that (诚然)后面是第一个boldface,but(但是) 后面是最终结论(it indicates no such thing,即第一个boldface不对),rather(而是)后面是第二个boldface,用来支持结论。
A.第一个是被反驳的,第二个提供证据证明第一个不对,正确
B.第二个阐释第一个的meaning,错误
C.第一个支持最终结论,第二个支持被反驳的position,错误
D.第一个支持最终结论,第二个就是最终结论,错误
E.两个都反驳argument所反驳的position,也就是支持argument,错误

黑体题找关系,属性,逻辑方向。看到rather知道关系属性是转折,没有转折(否定,质疑)的选项排除,BD排除。

AA要考700
Rather在开头不是表达转折,是表达递进,继续解释。

结论句:B的库存增加不能说明管理不当。背景逻辑:因-库存增加,且管理合理,果-减少生产;由果推因时要考虑是否有其他原因。

大股东说:因为B有大量存货的情况下不能减缓生产,这说明B的管理出了问题。 It is doubtful(反转):投资者对于管理的言论是否有意义,这是值得讨论的。这个case里显然是不公平的。 It is ture(事实依据):库存增加常常意味着供过于求 But(转折):B的案例不是这样 Rather(递进解释):B增加的库存是由于消费者预定导致的

又大又圆肉包打狗后没了
It is true that+反驳; but in Burton's case it indicates no such thing. Rather,这句话提示够明显了,特殊caes不是这样而是黑体2内容

rather更确切地说,与前句方向一致,对前句作进一步的解释

结论句是but in this case, it is clearly not justified,那么可以排除CDE,AB对比,B说第二段黑体是澄清在第一段黑体里的一个阶段结论,不对,应该是反驳,所以选A

结论应该是 "It is doubtful whether an investors sniping at management can ever be an thing other than counterproductive, but in this case, it is clearly not justified" 中的后半句
