Currently, Sulandian television journalists are twice as likely as other workers to support the Blue
Party, and Sulandian journalism students are significantly more likely to support the Blue Party
than working television journalists are. Therefore, assuming that these students do not change
their political affiliations as they get older, the disparity between the political affiliations of
Sulandia’s television journalists and those of the rest of the working population will increase as
current Sulandian journalism students enter the profession.

1. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A. Few of the television journalists currently working in Sulandia were trained in Sulandian
journalism schools.
B. Journalists in Sulandia whose political affiliations differ from those of the general population tend
to allow their political views to affect the way they report news about politics.
C. Most of the television journalists currently working in Sulandia who support the Blue Party also
supported the Blue Party when they were students.
D. Support for the Blue party is not significantly less common among those current Sulaidan
journalism students who intend to become television journalists than it is among current Sulandian
journalism students as a whole.
E. Classes in Sulandian journalism schools are not taught mainly by working Sulandian journalists.

求小伙伴们解答一下啊，虽然选对了，但是不知道为什么。。。

这道题我当时做的也非常绕，印象深刻。
这篇文章首先介绍了两个fact, 一是S国的电视记者相比较于其他工人更可能支持蓝党，二是S国的新闻专业学生相比起（前文提及的）S国电视记者更加可能支持蓝党。然后这篇文章讲了它的观点：倘若学生就业之后没有改变政治立场，那么在S国国内，电视记者的和其他工人的政治分歧会更加严重。
看到这儿，可以简单思考下这个结论。如果说A团体和B团体分歧严重，肯定是说A团体中的大部分人持有和B团体中大部分人相反的观点。而更加严重，则表明有更多的人持有和另一团体相反的观点。
对应到这篇文章，如果说S国的电视记者与其他工人政治分歧会变得更严重，说明电视记者团体中有更多人的政治立场站在了其他员工团体的对立面，即以后会有更多支持蓝党的电视记者团体人员。
那结合前面的条件，我们可以梳理出如下关系：
S国新闻学学生比S国电视记者更支持蓝党，而S国电视记者比其他工人团体更支持蓝党，假设学生就业之后政治立场不变→会有更多支持蓝党的电视记者
这么分析下来其实就很容易看出问题了，如果支持蓝党的学生就业之后会出现更多支持蓝党的电视记者，那肯定是要学生就业之后选择当一名电视记者，否则以上结论肯定不成立。
对应到D选项：在S国想要成为电视记者的新闻专业学生中，对蓝党的支持并不比其他（不想成为电视记者）的学生少。
这道题同样可以用排除法做，具体方法是将选项直接取否，看看能不能反驳文章的观点（但这么做需要对自己的逻辑有一定的自信）。
