问题 A museum director, in order to finance expensive new acquisitions, discreetly sold some paintings by major artists. All of them were paintings that the director privately considered inferior. Critics roundly condemned the sale, charging that the museum had lost first-rate pieces, thereby violating its duty as a trustee of art for future generations. A few months after being sold by the museum, those paintings were resold, in an otherwise stagnant art market, at two to three times the price paid to the museum. Clearly, these prices settle the issue, since they demonstrate the correctness of the critics’ evaluation. The reasoning in the argument is vulnerable to the criticism that the argument does which one of the following?
选项 A、It concludes that a certain opinion is correct on the grounds that it is held by more people than hold the opposing view.
B、It rejects the judgment of the experts in an area in which there is no better guide to the truth than expert judgment .
C、It rejects a proven means of accomplishing an objective without offering any alternative means of accomplishing that objective.
D、It bases a firm conclusion about a state of affairs in the present on somewhat speculative claims about a future state of affairs.
E、It bases its conclusion on facts that could, in the given situation, have resulted from causes other than those presupposed by the argument.
答案 E
解析 本题根据那些油画再次出售时售价较高断定了批评家评价的正确性。但是它忽视了这样的事实，即这些油画再次出售时价钱较高可能并不是因为它们本身具有相应的价值，也有可能正是因为批评家对这些画价值的肯定才导致它们再次被出售时售价较高，因此(E)是正确答案。
