题目选项分析

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 complete. This very completeness makes one point stand out; in five different years, villages overwhelmingly reported significant population declines. Tellingly, each of those five years immediately followed an increase in a certain Drindian tax. This tax, which was assessed on villages, was computed by the central government using the annual census figures. Obviously, whenever the tax went up, villages had an especially powerful economic incentive to minimize the number of people they recorded; and concealing the size of a village's population from government census takers would have been easy. Therefore, it is reasonable to think that the reported declines did not happen.

In the historian's argument, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

【选项】The first provides a context for certain evidence that supports the position that the historian seeks to establish; the second is that position.

选项是否正确?

此题的逻辑其实在于,因为records是很完备的,所以当人们试图去掩盖人口数量时,历史的记录也相应地显示出了人口大量减少(如果不完备的话,可能人口统计结果还是上升),但其实事实上人口并未减少。
therefore是结论句的marker,后面的语句必然代表作者的观点。因此只需判断第一个bold部分和结论的逻辑是否契合。
