问题 Which of the following best completes the passage below? In a survey of job applicants, two-fifths admitted to being at least a little dishonest. However, the survey may underestimate the proportion of job applicants who are dishonest, because ______.
选项 A、some dishonest people taking the survey might have claimed on the survey to be honest
B、some generally honest people taking the survey might have claimed on the survey to be dishonest
C、some people who claimed on the survey to be at least a little dishonest may be very dishonest
D、some people who claimed on the survey to be dishonest may have been answering honestly
E、some people who are not job applicants are probably at least a little dishonest
答案A
解析 本题要解释为什么这项调查可能低估了有不诚实行为的求职人员的比例。如果实际上不诚实的申请人宣称自己是诚实的，调查结果就会显示出比实际存在的不诚实的申请人比例小的比例。因此，选项(A)是正确答案；选项(B)不合适，因为在一般情况下诚实的人在调查中宣称自己不诚实会有助于高估，而不是低估不诚实的申请人的比例；选项(D)不合适，因为承认自己不诚实的申请人不会造成对不诚实的申请人的比例的低估；选项(C)和(E)不合适，因为该论述既与不诚实的程度无关，也与非申请人的诚实与否无关，即(C)、(E)为无关选项。
