问题 City resident: These new digital electronic billboards should be banned for light pollution since they are much too bright.
Outdoor advertising spokesperson: No, that’s not true. Testing with a sophisticated light meter shows that at night they throw off less light than traditional billboards that are reflectively lit. Your mistaken perception that they are brighter comes from looking directly at the light source—the screen itself.
The underlying strategy of the spokesperson’s response to the resident is most analogous to the underlying strategy of which of the following?
选项 A、A doctor dismisses a patient’s claim to have had a heart attack, citing a cardiac enzyme blood test.
B、A politician rejects an accusation of perjury by denying the credibility of witness testimony.
C、An insurance agent rejects a claim, on the grounds that there is insufficient evidence to support the claimant’s testimony.
D、An investigator casts doubt on the results of a lie detector, citing the subject’s report of illness during the test.
E、A psychologist treats a mental illness by encouraging a patient to abandon inconsistent beliefs.
答案 A
解析 This question requires us to identify the answer choice that that has an underlying reasoning strategy that is most analogous to the spokesperson’s strategy.
The outdoor advertising spokesperson responds to the city resident by citing an objective test that shows the factual claims of the resident to be false.
A    Correct. This choice is the most closely analogous to the spokespersons strategy: the doctor uses an objective test to show the factual claims of the patient to be false.
B    The politician does not use an objective test to reject the accusation of perjury. The politician merely denies the credibility of the witness; the basis for this denial is not stated.
C    The insurance agent does not use an
objective test as justification for rejecting a claim or for suggesting that there is sufficient evidence for the claimant’s testimony.
D    In this choice, the investigator rejects the results of what some might see as an objective test. However, the investigator does not use the results of an objective test to prove the factual claims of the subject to be incorrect.
E    This choice does not involve rejecting a claim, nor does it involve any sort of objective test.
The correct answer is A.
