Political Analyst: After the Soviet Union collapsed, some hoped that freedom would encourage Russians to multiply, but as a result of dislocation and insecurity, the Russian population continues to dwindle at the rate of 700,000 a year. The government proposes to address the problem with a wide range of financial incentives, along with investments in improved health care, road safety and the like. These are positive measures, but they have been tried before, to little avail. A better plan to reverse the population decline is to improve the country's governance in both the public and the private sphere. If a greater part of the population participated in important decisions and shared in the country's wealth, then larger families would result. In addition, if corruption and greed among the elite were curbed, public health would improve and average life expectancy would increase. The two boldfaced statements serve what function in the argument above? A.The first is the main point of the analyst's argument; the second is a premise that supports the the first. B.The first is a premise that undermines an alternative to the analyst's proposal; the second is a premise that supports the analyst's main claim. C.The first is a premise that contradicts the main point made by the analyst; the second is the main point of the argument. D.The first is a premise that supports a proposal; the second is that proposal. E.The first is a conclusion that the argument endorses; the second is a premise that opposes that conclusion. ans:B 不懂他哪里undermines an alternative to the analyst's proposal 能理解他undermines 政府的proposal... 还是我哪里没看懂@@ 有哪位大大能帮我解答一下吗QQ 感恩 --
