【GMAT考满分逻辑CR题库】A statistical review of word types and frequenc_真题_答案

题目内容

A statistical review of word types and frequencies in all of the novels in a library has found that the novels published prior to 1970 use far fewer slang words, measured as a percentage of the book's total words, than the novels published in 1970 or later. Evidently, whether or not they intended to do so, authors of novels published prior to 1970 used less slang than authors of later books.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens this argument?

A
The amount of slang used in non-fiction books in the statistical review is essentially constant across periods of history.
分析该选项
B
Novels published in 1970 or later are often just as critically acclaimed as novels published prior to 1970.
分析该选项
C
Prior to widespread means of information communication, slang words were less likely to be understood by the entirety of a widespread readership.
分析该选项
D
The less slang a published book uses, the more likely it is to remain stocked by libraries over time.
分析该选项
E
Aspiring novelists prior to 1970 used as much slang as later authors, but more conservative attitudes of editors during the earlier period made writers who used slang in that period less likely to be published.
