It has long been thought that high levels of the hormone testosterone contribute to the onset of heart disease in men.However, this view cannot be correct, since men who have heart disease typically show significantly lower levels of testosterone than do men who have not had heart disease.
The argument above assumes which of the following?
A. Many men who have never had heart disease have unusually low levels of testosterone.
B. Having heart disease does not significantly lower the level of testosterone in men.
C. Levels of hormones other than testosterone significantly affect the likelihood that a man will develop heart disease.
D. Heart disease and lowered testosterone levels in men are the effects of a single common cause.
E. High levels of testosterone have never been thought to contribute to a serious disease other than heart disease.
lower level of testosterone -> heart disease
assumption? 반대 차단..
heart disease ->/ lower level of testosterone.
정답 B.
로 보면 되나요?ㅋ
그런데 여기서 주장이 왜 lower level of testosterone(원인) -> heart disease(결과)가 되어야 만 할까요?
첫번째 long been thought 는 high level of testosterone(원인) -> heart disease(결과)인데, 이게 틀렸다고 말한것만으로
lower level of testosterone(원인) -> heart disease(결과)이라고 말할 수 있는건가요?^^
