gre argument 225题目:
The following appeared as part of a letter to the editor of a local newspaper.
"During her three years in office, Governor Riedeburg has shown herself to be a worthy leader. Since she took office, crime has decreased, the number of jobs created per year has doubled(2), and the number of people choosing to live in our state has increased(1). These trends are likely to continue(3) if she is reelected. In addition, Ms. Riedeburg has promised(4) to take steps to keep big companies here(6), thereby providing jobs for any new residents(5). Anyone who looks at Ms. Riedeburg's record can tell that she is the best-qualified candidate(7) for governor."
提纲:
(1)The author unfairly attribute the decline in crime, increase in the number of new job opportunities and number of people who choose to live here to the leadership of Riedeburg.
(2)The author fails to inform us how many workers have been laid off since Riedeburg took office.
(3)The author unfairly assumes that these trends will continue in the future.
(4)We cannot guarantee that Riedeburg would definitely keep her promise.
(5)The author provides no evidence that these employers would be either willing or able to hire new residents.
(6)Reideburg’s promise may just suggest that some big companies are not willing to stay in our state.
(7)The author fails to consider other competent candidates.
