The town of Stavanger, Norway, was quiet and peaceful until the early 1960 ’ s, when Stavanger became Norway’s center for offshore oil exploration. Between then and now, violent crime and vandalism in Stavanger have greatly increased. Clearly, these social problems are among the results of Stavanger’s oil boom. Which of the following, if it occurred between the early 1960’ s and now, gives the strongest support to the argument above?
选项
A、The people of Stavanger rarely regret that their town was chosen to be Norway’s center for offshore oil exploration .
B、Norwegian sociologists expressed grave concern about the increase in violent crime and vandalism in Stavanger.
C、Violent crime and vandalism have remained low in Norwegian towns that had no oil boom.
D、Nonviolent crime, drug addiction, and divorce in Stavanger increased approximately as much as violent crime and vandalism did.
E、The oil boom necessitated the building of wider roads for the increased traffic in Stavanger.

,所以(C)是一个“无因就无果”(即A可行或有意义)的假设,而假设可以作为一个很好的支持。所以(C)是正确答案。请注意,这道题是GRE1992年2月考题,但在GRE1998年11月中重考,只不过重考时是把(C)放入段落中,然后问段落论述所使用的推理方法。
