Last year the rate of inflation was l.2 percent, but for the current year it has been 4 percent. We can conclude that inflation is on an upward trend and the rate will be still higher next year.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion above?
(A)The inflation figures were computed on the basis of a representative sample of economic data rather than all of the available data.
(B)Last year a dip in oil prices brought inflation temporarily below its recent stable annual level of 4 percent.
(C)Increases in the pay of some workers are tied to the level of inflation, and at an inflation rate of 4 percent or above, these pay raises constitute a force causing further inflation.
(D)The l.2 percent rate of inflation last year represented a 10-year low.
(E)Government intervention cannot affect the rate of inflation to any significant degree.
题目分析:去年通货膨胀率1.2,现在是4,所以我们认为通货膨胀率是上涨的趋势,并且明年会更高。问削弱。A说通货膨胀率是根据什么标准算出来的,没提。B说去年油价的下探也曾把一直维持在4的通货膨胀率带下来,感觉今年还是有可能低于4的,像个削弱,留着。C说工资和通货膨胀率相关,如果通货膨胀率继续是4那么工资将进一步推动通货膨胀率上涨,不像削弱,像支持,干掉。D说去年的1.2是10年新低,那又怎么样,没起到削弱作用。E说政府干预不会影响通货膨胀率,没提过是否会有政府干预,没有驳斥到地方,杀。
