[LR][PT49-S2-Q10] Megan and Channen

waimanUID: 2892309

Megan: People pursue wealth beyond what their basic needs require only if they see it as a way of achieving hihg status or prestige.


Channen: Not every body htinks that way. After all, money is the universal medium of exchange. So, if you have enough of it, you can exchange it for whatever other material goods you may need or want even if you are indifferent to what others think of you.


Megan and Channen disagree over whether


(A) people ever pursue wealth beyond what is required for their basic needs.
(E) the motive for pursuinng wealth beyond what one's basic needs require is ever anything other than  the desire for prestige or high status. (OA)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(A) The Decision Tree helps us right away. Megan offers a condition necessary (only if) to pursuing
wealth beyond their basic needs. That does not commit her to the belief that some people do pursue wealth
beyond their needs. So in fact, we cannot be sure whether Megan even believes what  (A) is saying.


上面是kaplan对于(A)的解释, 请问他的意思是说, 因为Megan所述的是一个条件式, 而(A)只提到sufficient condition, 所以错吗?

kaplan对于(A)的解释：
题干：
“pursue wealth beyond what their basic needs require”------》“ as a way of achieving hihg status or prestige.”
没有提到“pursue wealth beyond what”和“basic needs”的关系。

抱歉呀, 我有认真看, 还是看不懂, 没有提到“pursue wealth beyond what”和“basic needs”的关系 和 (A)错有什么关系??

(A) people ever pursue wealth beyond what is required for their basic needs。
提到了他们之间的关系。
----------------------------------------------------------
“required” 是引导 necessary condition 的。

具体 请查看 LR Bible 第 124 页，“multiplicity of indicator words”。

板主你好, 刚刚把bible multiplicity of indicator words看了一遍

1. 若(A)是conditional relation, 那么要怎么写呢?

basic needs-->people ever pursue wealth beyond what ?不合理呀

2. People pursue wealth beyond what their basic needs require 和 people ever pursue wealth beyond what is required for their basic needs 两个句子是一样的对吧?

duijinxiaoziUID: 2585955

1.  A requires B。
     A-----》B
     “required” 用法的 例题可参见  pt48s1q26。（此题甚好）

     此处“beyond what their basic needs require”，做介词短语修饰 wealth。
--------------------------
2. 一样。
---------------------------
3. 重新看了下解释：
订正下：
that does not commit her to the belief that some people do pursue wealth beyond their needs.
是说 Megan 不肯定 是否 people ever pursue wealth beyond what is required for their basic needs.
