On turning 65
years old, everyone living in the town of Malton becomes eligible to receive a
card that guarantees discounts on most goods and services sold in the town.
Census records for 1990 show that 2, 450 inhabitants of Malton turned 64 in
that year. Yet . in 1991 over 3,000 people applied for and properly received
discount cards. So clearly some of Malton's population growth between 1990 and
1992 must be attributable to migration into the city by people in their mid
-60's
Which of the
following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
(A) The town
of Malton has no complete census records for 1991.
(B) The
overall size of the population of Malton grew by over 500 during 1990.
(C) Fewer
people applied for and received discount cards in 1991 than did so in 1992.
(D) Among the
people 65 years old or older who moved into Malton in 1991. there was no one
who did not apply for a discount card .
(E) In
general. people who applied for and received discount cards in 1991 first
became eligible to do so in that year
90년때 2450명이 65세였고, 이사람들이 91년에 65세가 될 텐데, 91년에 3000명이 지원을 했다는 말은
65세와 그 이상 되는 사람들이 지원을 했다고 잠정적으로 생각할 수 있을 것 같습니다.
그런데 보기 D같은 경우 한 명도 지원을 안한 사람이 없다고 했는데, 만약 딱 한 사람만 지원을 안했더라도, 별로 상관 없는 것 아닌가요? 이 한명분에 해당하는 사람이 91년에 66세 이상 되면서 지원을 안했던 사람이 지원하는 것으로 충당 될테니까요.
아~-_-; 독해를 제대로 한건지..ㅋㅋ
답은 D랍니다.
