Tom：雇主们报怨高中毕业生通常缺乏专职工作所需的职业技巧。因此，既然在工作中最易获得这些技巧，那么我们就应该要求高中学生干一些兼职工作，以便他们能获得当今的工作市场上需要的技巧。Mary：对想工作的学生来说，现有的兼职工作太少，仅仅要求学生们工作并不会给他们创造工作。
下面哪一点最准确地描述了Mary的应答怎样与Tom的论述相联系
A．它分析了采取Tom推荐的行动方针会产生一个不合需要的结果。
B．它论证了Tom把一个不可避免的趋势错认为是一个可以避免的趋势。
C．它提供了与Tom的论述中的一个明确陈述的前提不相一致的信息。
D．它提出了一个削弱Tom的论述所依赖的假设的理由。
E．它为Tom所描述的问题的另一个可替换的解决办法辩护。
参考答案：D
解析：Tom的论证需要“存在兼职的工作岗位”的假设，而Mary将此假设给与削弱。注意不能选D，因为“存在兼职的工作岗位”不是Tom明确陈述的前提。
