劉文勇GRE寫作Argument題庫 Day 116

Day 116 Recently, we signed a contract with the Fly-Away Pest Control Company to provide pest control services at our warehouse in Palm City

The following appeared in a memo from the vice president of a food distribution company with food storage warehouses in several cities.

“Recently, we signed a contract with the Fly-Away Pest Control Company to provide pest control services at our warehouse in Palm City, but last month we discovered that over $20,000 worth of food there had been destroyed by pest damage. Meanwhile, the Buzzoff Pest Control Company, which we have used for many years in Palm City, continued to service our warehouse in Wintervale, and last month only $10,000 worth of the food stored there had been destroyed by pest damage. This difference in pest damage is best explained by the negligence of Fly-Away.”

Write a response in which you discuss one or more alternative explanations that could rival the proposed explanation and explain how your explanation(s) can plausibly account for the facts presented in the argument.

【本題與Day 78、Day 114相似，不同之處：（1）最后一句“ This difference in pest damage is best explained by the negligence of Fly-Away”是結(jié)論。（2）文中給出充足證據(jù)來證明這種差異一定是由 Fly-Away公司的失職導(dǎo)致的嗎？是否可能是其他原因？例如， Fly-Away公司負責的貨物本身容易招致蟲害，而 Buzzoff Pest Control Company負責的貨物不容易招致蟲害。（3）在沒與Fly-Away簽約之前倉庫的損失如何呢？簽約之后的損失比之前更嚴重還是減輕了呢？（4）本題不用反駁 Day 78的第（4）（5）問?！?/p>
