However, eliminating the state requirement that legal advertisements must specify fees for specific services would almost certainly increase rather than further reduce consumer’s legal costs. ( A certain position advocate hold) Lawyers would no longer have an incentive to lower their fees when they begin advertising and if no longer required to specify fee arrangements, many lawyers who now advertise would increase their fees. ( A consideration in support of that prediction ) GWD1Q3: A product that represents a clear technological advance over peting products can generally mand a high price. Because technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed and panies want to make large profits while they still can, many panies charge the greatest price the market will bear when they have such a product.( a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy ) appeal: 呼籲 ,請求 But large profits on the new product will give petitors a strong incentive to quickly match the new product’s capabilities.( a consideration raised to call into question the wisdom of adopting that strategy) Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.( Author’s method or strategy) GWD1Q22amp。8Q31: City Official: At City Hospital, uninsured patients tend to have shorter stays and fewer procedures performed than do insured patients, even though insured patients, on average, have slightly less serious medical problems at the time of admission to the hospital than uninsured patients have. Critics of the hospital have concluded that the uninsured patients are more receiving proper medical care.( the position that the city official’s argument opposes ) However, this conclusion is almost certainly false. (the conclusion of the city official’s argument ) Careful investigation has recently shown two things: insured patients have much longer stays in the hospital than necessary, and they tend to have more procedures performed than are medically necessary. (Evidence) GWD3Q2 Hunter: Hunters alone are blamed for the decline in Greenrock National Forest’s deer population over the past ten years. Yet clearly, black bears have also played an important role in this decline. (the main conclusion of the argument) In the past ten years, the forest’s protected black bear population has risen sharply, and examination of black bears found dead in the forest during the deer hunting season showed that a number of them had recently fed on deer. (Evidence) GWD3Q16: Economist: Tropicorp, which constantly seeks profitable investment opportunities, has been buying and clearing sections of tropical forest for cattle ranching, although pastures newly created there bee useless for grazing after just a few years. The pany has not gone into rubber tapping, even though greater profits can be made from rubber tapping, which leaves the forest intact. (supports the environmentalists’ conclusion) Thus, some environmentalists conclude that Tropicorp has not acted wholly out of economic selfinterest. (states that environmentalists’ conclusion) However, these environmentalists are probably wrong. The initial investment required for a successful rubbertapping operation is larger than that needed for a cattle ranch. Furthermore, there is a shortage of workers employable in rubbertapping operations, and finally, taxes are higher on profits from rubber tapping than on profits from cattle ranching. GWD5Q19: Historian: In the Drindian Empire, censuses were conducted annually to determine the population of each village. Village census records for the last half of the 1600’s are remarkably plete. (provides a context for certain evidence that supports the position that the historian seeks to establish) This very pleteness makes one point stand out。8Q21: Although the earliest survivin
