2,691 | A local talent market is looking for practitioners in four positions of cleaning, property, network management and sales. Four young people from A, B, C and D come to apply. It was learned afterwards that each person only chose one kind of position to apply for and one of them applied for each kind of position. In addition, we also know: (1) if D applies for network management, then A applies for property; (2) if B does not apply for cleaning, then A applies for cleaning and C applies for sales; (3) if B applies for cleaning, then C applies for sales. D also applied for cleaning. | According to the above statement, A applies for the position of network management. | not-entailment |
907 | The loss sensitivity effect means that people are different in sensitivity to loss and gain. People are more sensitive to loss than gain. That is, the pain caused by the decrease of wealth is not equal to the happiness caused by the increase of the same amount of wealth. The former is greater than the latter. | The happiness of 200 yuan for nothing cannot offset the pain caused by losing 100 yuan belongs to the loss sensitivity effect according to the above definition. | not-entailment |
6,236 | Internationally, there is no lack of government led establishment of social groups. The purpose of government led establishment of social groups is to expand the scope and space of their functions. Some people call such non-governmental organizations governmental non-governmental organizations, which objectively often become quasi departments performing certain functions of the executive government. | International non-governmental organizations often perform certain functions of the government is directly supported by the above paragraph. | not-entailment |

No subscription will be canceled unless the subscriber explicitly requests the cancellation beforehand and in writing. | The Daily Gazette denies each of the following subscriber's requests, each of the denials could be justified solely on the basis of the policy stated above EXCEPT for The Daily Gazette being delivered to Ms. Herrera during her one-week vacation even though she called on a Wednesday to stop delivery the following Monday for the entire week; she requests credit for the full week's delivery. | entailment |
7,249 | Only when the EU stops importing agricultural products from third countries and the security of Africa is guaranteed can the volunteers of international green organizations increase significantly. The security of Africa comes from the joint efforts of the whole international community, but such efforts are impossible due to the conflict of interests between some major countries in the world, | It can be inferred that there was a significant increase in volunteers from international green organizations. | not-entailment |
10,614 | In a large residential building, there is a rule that no pets are allowed. A group of pet lovers tried to change that rule but failed. The rule-changing procedure outlined in the building' s regulations states that only if a group of tenants can obtain the signatures of 10 percent of the tenants on a petition to change a rule will the proposed change be put to a majority vote of all the tenants in the building. It follows that the pet lovers were voted down on their proposal by the majority of the tenants. | The argument depends on the assumption that the pet lovers succeeded in obtaining the signatures of 10 percent of the tenants on their petition. | entailment |
9,535 | A charity called on companies to donate tents to an area hit by torrential rain. As a token of gratitude, a certain area asked the organization which companies had donated. After investigation, we found that: (1) none of the four enterprises donated; (2) the D enterprise did not donate; (3) at least one enterprise of the B enterprise and the D enterprise did not donate; and (4) there were indeed corporate donations among the four enterprises. It was later learned that two of the above four situations were true and two were false. | Based on this, it can be concluded that Enterprise B made a donation. | entailment |
13,258 | With the passage of the new tax reform laws, the annual tax burden on low-income taxpayers will be reduced, on average, by anywhere from $100 to $300. Clearly, tax reform is in the interest of low-income taxpayers. | The statement 'Tax reform, by eliminating tax incentives to build rental housing, will push up rents an average of about $40 per month for low-income taxpayers' most undermines the conclusion above. | entailment |
10,923 | Manatees, aquatic mammals inhabiting Florida' s rivers and coastal waters, swim close to the surface and are frequently killed in collisions with boats. To address the problem, boat traffic in manatee-populated waters is being required to maintain very low speeds. Unfortunately, manatees are unable to hear low-pitched sounds and a boat' s sound lowers in pitch as the boat slows. Ttherefore, this approach may in fact make things worse rather than better. | The statement 'The sound of a boat engine generally travels much further under water than it does through the air' casts most doubt on the conclusion. | not-entailment |
5,803 | A, B, C and D were arrested on suspicion of theft from a jewelry store. The statements of the four are as follows: A: The perpetrator is C. B: Ding is the criminal. C: If I commit the crime, Ding is the principal criminal. D: I did not commit the crime. Only one of the four statements is false. | It was D who lied, c and D who committed the crime is true if the above is true. | entailment |
1,952 | When talking about the history of human art, people tend to pay more attention to language, especially as a text. Because people used to think that vision is intuitive, concrete and perceptual, lack of profound and complex meaning. But from a historical point of view, people create and come into contact with images before they use and understand words. The history of the relationship between human beings and images is far longer than that between human beings and words in terms of time length. The expression and communication of images not only has a long history, but people often find that the experience and interpretation of visual art is as difficult as the grasp of spoken and written language, or even more complicated. | The statement 'People lack understanding of the importance of images in art history' is emphasized in this paragraph. | entailment |
11,776 | The highest mountain ranges are formed by geological forces that raise the earth' s crust: two continent-bearing tectonic plates of comparable density collide and crumple upward, causing a thickening of the crust. The erosive forces of wind and precipitation inexorably wear these mountains down. Yet the highest mountain ranges tend to be found in places where these erosive forces are most prevalent. | The statement 'The amount of precipitation that a given region of the earth receives may vary considerably over the lifetime of an average mountain range' most helps to reconcile the apparent conflict described above. | not-entailment |
6,672 | In recent years, there has been a trend of forced apportionment of newspaper subscriptions year after year, which is better than one year. By virtue of their functions and powers, some superior departments put the burden on the grass-roots level and leave the benefits to themselves. | The most accurate restatement of the main idea of this passage is that the compulsory apportionment of newspaper subscriptions has increased the burden on the grass-roots level. | entailment |
10,446 | During World War II, the air forces of the United States and Britain bombed Germany and suffered heavy losses. Experts found that the belly of all the returning planes was covered with bullet marks, but the wings were intact. They concluded that the belly of the plane is very vulnerable to gunfire and that the protection of the belly should be improved. It was later confirmed that they were affected by survivor bias when these experts speculated, because the reality was that all the planes that were hit on the wing crashed, while most of the planes that were only hit in the belly returned. | In a random sampling survey with a large enough sample, it is found that in China, the TV program with the largest audience is News Network does not have a similar survivor bias. | entailment |
2,793 | Office Director: This office does not plan to use recycled paper. The letter to the user must leave a good impression. Cannot print on poor quality paper. Stationery suppliers: recycled paper is not necessarily inferior. In fact, the original paper was made from recyclable materials. It was not until the 1850s that wood fiber was used as a raw material for papermaking due to insufficient supply of scrap materials. | The statement 'Unrelated facts are used to prove an assertion about product quality' best summarizes the loopholes in the stationery supplier's rebuttal. | entailment |
8,340 | Four contestants, Zhang, Liu, Li and Zhao, who were not familiar with each other, participated in the university speech contest. They come from mathematics, logic, literature and history majors. Before the game, the four people made the following guesses: Zhang: Zhao's major is logic; Liu: Li's major is literature; Li: Zhang's major is not mathematics; Zhao: Liu's major is history. It was learned afterwards that only the guesses of mathematics and logic professionals were correct. | Zhang's major is Literature, Liu's major is history, Li's major is logic and Zhao's major is mathematics based on the above information. | entailment |
8,333 | Throughout history, we will find that people are eager to know what will happen in the future. From primitive myths, religious stories to folk legends, there are many contents about prediction. A common feature of these predictions is mystery-knowing what it is but not why. In the history of natural development, scientists have also made predictions many times, and their methods are very different from those of mysticism. For example, in the early days of ancient Greek civilization, the philosopher Fengles traveled to Babylon, learned the periodic law of solar and lunar eclipses and successfully predicted a solar eclipse. This prediction is based on hundreds of years of astronomical observations and laws of Babylonian astronomers, which anyone can do as long as they study hard. There are many such successful predictions of solar and lunar eclipses in ancient China. | The intention of this passage is to describe ancient scientific prediction as being based on the understanding of the laws of nature. | entailment |
1,015 | Global warming is considered an undisputed fact by most people, but data released by a climate change research institute shows that from the beginning of 1997 to August 2012, the overall temperature change of the world was only 0 degree. According to the agency, global warming has stopped. | Global climate change is driven more by the movements of the earth itself than by human activity, according to new research, should not doubt the institute's conclusion. | entailment |
10,086 | The 12th International Congress of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science was held in Spain, and at least one of Prof. Hacker, Prof. Maas and Prof. Reger attended the conference. Known: (1) Those who sign up for the conference must submit an English academic paper, and the invitation letter will be issued after expert review. (2) If Prof. Hacker attends this conference, then Prof. Maas must attend. (3) Prof. Reger submitted a German academic paper to the conference. | Based on the above, it must be true that both Prof. Hacker and Prof. Maas attended the conference. | not-entailment |
9,506 | In the face of a major epidemic, timely release of authoritative information and open and transparent response to public concerns can effectively solve the problem of information asymmetry, reduce the space for the spread of false information such as rumors, and better maintain social stability. For some time, relevant departments and relevant institutions have released data on confirmed, suspected, cured and dead people in a timely manner. Some Internet enterprises have used big data, cloud computing and visualization technology to launch products such as Real-time epidemic situation dynamic, Co-ride patient query system and Fever Clinic Map, which simultaneously popularize scientific protection knowledge, effectively meet the information needs of the public, and guide the masses to look at the epidemic rationally. Enhance self-prevention awareness and protection ability. | The content that this text is meant to emphasize is enhance the ability of self-protection by means of technology. | not-entailment |
1,807 | If we only look at the value of cultural relics, the paper version of ancient literature is indeed not suitable to be opened to readers on a large scale, otherwise, frequent reading and the resulting bacterial invasion will certainly affect their preservation to a great extent. However, from the perspective of the value of historical materials, it should have been open to the society, because only in this way can the literature value of ancient books be fully realized and great progress can be made in academic research. | The passage that focuses on the description of ancient literature is the one that Need the public to participate in the research. | not-entailment |
10,615 | According to current geological theory, the melting of ice at the end of the Ice Age significantly reduced the weight pressing on parts of the earth' s crust. As a result, lasting cracks in the earth' s crust appeared in some of those parts under the stress of pressure from below. At the end of the Ice Age Sweden was racked by severe earthquakes. Ttherefore, it is likely that the melting of the ice contributed to these earthquakes. | The statement 'Asteroid impacts, which did occur at the end of the Ice Age, generally cause severe earthquakes' most strengthens the argument above. | not-entailment |
9,454 | The number of fires and the area burned in the Amazon rainforest increase at an alarming rate every year. However, satellite photos show that the increase in the number of fires to the area burned last year was significantly lower than in previous years. Last year, a government spent millions of dollars on preventing and fighting fires in the Amazon rainforest. The government claimed that the satellite data showed that the government's efforts to prevent and extinguish fires had achieved remarkable results. | The statement 'The country saw unusually large and sustained rainfall last year' would most weaken the government's conclusion above. | entailment |
3,272 | A German scientist did a study in which he showed a group of 6-month-old babies pictures of the same size and color. Some pictures showed flowers or fish, and others showed spiders or snakes. They found that the babies did not respond significantly to pictures of flowers or fish, but all had significantly larger pupils when shown pictures of spiders or snakes. As a result, the scientist believes fear of dangerous animals is something we are born with, not learned. | The premise of the above argument is that everyone expresses fear in different ways. | not-entailment |
13,534 | In trying to reduce the amount of fat in their diet, on average people have decreased their consumption of red meat by one-half in the last two decades. However, on average those who have reduced their consumption of red meat actually consume substantially more fat than those who have not. | The statement 'People who reduce their consumption of red meat tend to consume as much of other foods that are high in fat as do those who have not reduced their consumption of red meat' most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy described above. | not-entailment |
9,619 | A study of grass-roots workers in an enterprise shows that grass-roots workers who use social software are significantly less likely to suffer from diabetes, mental illness and ischemic heart disease than those who do not use social software. Accordingly, the managers of the company believe that the use of social software is beneficial to the health of grass-roots workers. | The statement 'The grass-roots workers of the enterprise are generally over the age of 40, and a considerable number of people do not use social software' will most weaken the above managers' conclusions. | entailment |
5,706 | In economics, the emergence of individual organizations with higher efficiency within the system will destroy or inhibit the existence and development of other organizations with lower efficiency. People call this effect tIp effect. Due to the unbalanced development among individuals, regions and countries, the tIp effect is common. | A certain place formulated a new policy to increase support for small and medium-sized enterprises, while regulating monopoly industries and limiting the scale helps to avoid the tip effect according to the above definition. | entailment |
6,909 | There is a well-known investment philosophy, that is, invest in a company with a moat. The general idea is that a company must have sufficient competitive advantages to resist the encroachment of other competitors on its own profitability. Investors can only invest in this way. Companies are likely to bring excess returns. However, moats often have traps, and the most common trap is market share. A higher market share is usually regarded by investors as the moat of the company, but practice has proved that this is not the case. Unreliable. Market share only illustrates the company's past performance, not the future. If there is not enough ability to resist foreign invasion, the company will have to maintain market share through price wars, and the result must be a sharp decline in profitability. | The statement 'The market share reflects the size of the company's competitive advantage' is correct according to the text. | entailment |
12,586 | Columnist: Almost anyone can be an expert, for there are no official guidelines determining what an expert must know. Anybody who manages to convince some people of his or her qualifications in an area -- whatever those may be -- is an expert. | The statement 'Some experts convince everyone of their qualifications in almost every area' is an assumption required for the columnist's conclusion to follow logically. | not-entailment |
1,077 | Reverse incentive refers to the phenomenon that the original intention of policy design and the actual implementation effect are contrary to one's wishes. Once the reverse incentive effect is stimulated, it will not only worsen the current situation and damage the credit of policy makers, but also further strengthen the relevant negative consequences and eventually lead to a vicious cycle. | According to the above definition, the development of the bad habit of loving leisure and hating work in order to provide more favorable material conditions for children's growth is not a reverse incentive. | not-entailment |
14,943 | Jane: Television programs and movies that depict violence among teenagers are extremely popular. Given how influential these media are, we have good reason to believe that these depictions cause young people to engage in violent behavior. Hence, depictions of violence among teenagers should be prohibited from movies and television programs, if only in those programs and movies promoted to young audiences. Maurice: But you are recommending nothing short of censorship! Besides which, your claim that television and movie depictions of violence cause violence is mistaken: violence among young people predates movies and television by centuries. | The movies that have been shown to have the most influence on young people's behavior are those that are promoted to young audiences most strengthens Jane's argument. | entailment |
9,376 | Australian box jellyfish is one of the most poisonous animals in the world. after stinging, its toxin can cause skin necrosis and severe pain, invade the heart and cause death due to cardiac arrest in a short period of time. A box jellyfish carries enough venom to kill 60 people, and there is no specific drug for its venom. Recently, through genome-wide screening, researchers have found that a protein called ATP2B1 in human cells is a necessary condition for box jellyfish venom to be toxic, and researchers believe that lowering cholesterol through targeted therapy can fight box jellyfish venom. | The statement 'Lowering cholesterol will not cause side effects on the human body' can be used as the premise of the above argument. | not-entailment |
849 | Consumer supervision right refers to the right of consumers to supervise goods and services and the protection of consumer rights. | According to the above definition, Lao Wang bought the spoiled food in a store and immediately went back to request a return belongs to consumer supervision right. | not-entailment |
861 | In order to verify the efficacy of a new drug for the treatment of hypertension, clinicians gave the drug to 100 hypertensive patients. 65 people's blood pressure did indeed drop. Therefore, the pharmaceutical factory claimed that the drug was indeed effective. | The statement 'The drug was given to a group of 100 hypertensive patients, and the other group of 100 hypertensive patients were given the same appearance but contains no drug ingredients.The number of blood pressure drops in the first group of patients was as same as that in the latter group' can weaken the conclusion the most. | entailment |
132 | The word totem comes from the Indian word totem, meaning its relatives, its mark. In the beliefs of primitive people, the people of this clan are believed to be derived from a certain species, that is, have a close affinity with a certain animal or natural objects. Therefore, totem belief has a relationship with ancestor worship. The second meaning of totem is sign. Totem sign plays an important role in primitive society, and it is the earliest social organization sign and symbol, it has the function of uniting the group, close blood relationship, maintaining social organization and distinguishing from each other | The statement 'A bird pole was put at the entrance of every village of the ancient Korean people as a symbol of the clan' is not a totem phenomenon according to the above definition. | not-entailment |
7,465 | In the Six Dynasties, the famous talker Liu Zun talked a lot, but he also admired people who didn't talk. He was very happy to see Jiang Quan not speaking often, and said: Jiang Quan can't speak, but it's really admirable to be able to not speak. Jiang Quan knew that he was not talking, but he knew how to hide. Not everyone knows where his shortcomings are, so as to be a teacher, there are countless people who can talk about it. It is excusable to be able to talk and love to talk; many people know that they are not good at talking. It happens that they keep talking and explode their shortness, which is often annoying. Therefore, it can be said that Jiang Quan's doing this is actually an extremely rare kind of intelligence. | It's a kind of self-knowledge that can't speak without saying it, if correct, can best support the above statement. | entailment |
4,087 | The law hypothesis is to make a speculative explanation of the nature or cause of a class of things or phenomena, and arrive at a regular proposition that may have universal significance, so as to try to establish, develop or supplement scientific theories. | Some researchers have pointed out that diseases caused by genes may be caused by genetic mutations belongs to the law hypothesis according to the above definition. | entailment |
120 | X Insurance Company is considering issuing a new insurance policy to provide the services seniors need for those who are suffering from elderly diseases. The insurance premium of the policy must be low enough to attract customers. Therefore, X Company will worry about that their income received is not enough to pay for the claims. | The strategy of providing insurance only to individuals who are wealthy enough to pay for medical services is most likely to minimize X Company's losses on the policy. | not-entailment |
10,155 | If I argue with you, can we tell the truth from the false? You and I don't know, and all the others are prejudiced, who shall we ask to judge? Ask people who share your opinion to judge. Since he has the same opinion as you, how can you judge? Please judge with people who have the same views as me. Since he has the same views as me, how can he judge? Please judge people who have different views from you and me. Since they have different views from you and me, how can they judge? So, no winning or losing. | The statement 'The above argument grossly ignores that there are standards of implementation and logic beyond debaters and commentators' most accurately describes the flaw in the above argument. | entailment |
599 | Contingent liabilities refer to the potential obligations formed by past transactions or events, which are likely to be undertaken by the enterprise under certain circumstances, but have not been fully determined so far. They are liabilities that need to be confirmed by the occurrence or non occurrence of uncertain events in the future | According to the definition, a business may incur contingent liabilities by providing quality assurance for sold goods. | entailment |
12,791 | Environmentalist: Pollution from gasoline burned by cars contributes to serious environmental problems. But the cost of these problems is not reflected in gasoline prices, and hence usually does not affect consumers' decisions about how much to drive. Heavier taxes on gasoline, however, would reflect this cost, and as a result consumers would pollute less. | The cost of pollution from driving should not be reflected in the price of gasoline unless the amount of pollution produced would be reduced as a result most strongly supports the environmentalist's statements. | not-entailment |
1,958 | The map is originally a shape, it should not have people, and there can be no people, if there is a person in the map, it is not a map, but a picture. In the strict sense, this sentence should be a theorem, but when it comes to some tourist pictures, it is likely to turn a corner-there are often both scenery and characters in tourism. This is just like Mount Tai, Qin Shihuang must be mentioned in the tourist map of the Terracotta Warriors, emperors of the Ming Dynasty must be mentioned in the tourist map of the Ming Tombs, and Empress Dowager Cixi must be mentioned in the tourist map of the Summer Palace. Because in that environment, many scenes are produced by human activities as the starting point, but also because of human activities, its aesthetic value has increased. | Tourist maps must have landmarks, scenery and characters is considered by the author of this passage. | entailment |
12,310 | Jewel collectors, fearing that their eyes will be deceived by a counterfeit, will not buy a diamond unless the dealer guarantees that it is genuine. But why should a counterfeit give any less aesthetic pleasure when the naked eye cannot distinguish it from a real diamond? Both jewels should be deemed of equal value. | The principle that the value of a jewel should derive solely from the aesthetic pleasure it provides, if valid, most helps to justify the reasoning in the argument above. | entailment |
5,812 | Peak experience refers to a feeling of spiritual satisfaction and perfection that reaches the peak and surpasses time and space and self in the pursuit of self-realization after the pursuit and satisfaction of basic needs. This feeling can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. | The audience witnessing the psychological experience of human beings when they first stepped on the moon is not a peak experience. | entailment |
9,323 | There are three traditional standards of civilization, namely writing, bronzes and cities. However, many archaeologists later discovered that due to the differences in civilizations in different regions, this criterion not only does not work, but also hinders archaeological work. Nowadays, the international standard for judging civilization is mainly: it has entered the state and social form, and has a set of etiquette system and governance management system. Although the Liangzhu culture did not have bronze wares and relatively mature characters, it had an early state and social form, a relatively complete etiquette system and management system, and many elements of oriental civilization. Some archaeological researchers of the Liangzhu Culture even believe that the Liangzhu Culture is a comprehensive civilization in the early East. | The emphasis of this text is that Liangzhu culture conforms to the prevailing standards of civilization judgment. | entailment |
2,553 | When the Meng / Guan team won the championship at the Athens Olympic Games, there were two more pairs of athletes and they reached the finish line almost at the same time. Before the Beijing Olympic Games, it was predicted that although the Meng / Guan team did not reach their best form, it was possible to win the gold medal. | One of the two couples did not take part in the Beijing Olympic Games does not improve the probability of Meng / Guan winning the championship in the Beijing Olympic Games. | not-entailment |
3,941 | Avalanches can put 40 to 50 tons of force on the surface of a hit object per square meter. The impact force is very striking. Avalanches can also cause violent oscillations in the air during their high-speed movement, a powerful blast of air in front of an avalanche faucet that resembles the blast wave of an atomic bomb. Avalanches are likely to be stopped at steep rock or sharp turns in river valleys. Avalanches, on the other hand, continue to move in the direction of avalanches, destroying forests, houses, overturning vehicles and choking people and animals. | The impact of an avalanche is even greater than that of an atomic bomb can be inferred. | not-entailment |
7,947 | No matter what article is selected into the Chinese teaching material, it is no longer an independent work in the original sense, but an organic part of the whole teaching material system, which is the basis of basic skills training. | The reliance of basic skills training refers to income language teaching materials in all kinds of works. | entailment |
5,110 | Industrial property rights refer to the possession of intellectual achievements such as inventions and remarkable marks used in production and circulation within a certain period and region as stipulated by law. | According to the above definition, ownership of foreign advanced assembly line production equipment recently purchased by an enterprise belongs to industrial property rights. | not-entailment |
13,646 | Excavation of the ancient city of Kourion on the island of Cyprus revealed a pattern of debris and collapsed buildings typical of towns devastated by earthquakes. Archaeologists have hypothesized that the destruction was due to a major earthquake known to have occurred near the island in AD 365. | The statement "Bronze ceremonial drinking vessels that are often found in graves dating from years preceding and following AD 365 were also found in several graves near Kourion" most strongly supports the archaeologists' hypothesis. | not-entailment |
12,821 | A law that is not consistently enforced does not serve its purpose. Law without enforcement is not law; it is merely statute -- a promise of law. To institute real law is not merely to declare that such and such behavior is forbidden; it is also to punish those who violate that edict. Furthermore, those who enforce law must punish without favor for their friends or malice for their enemies. To punish only those one dislikes while forgiving others is not to enforce law but to engage in the arbitrary and unjust exercise of power. | The main point of the passage is that instituting real law consists in clearly defining unacceptable behavior. | not-entailment |
12,338 | Television host: While it' s true that the defendant presented a strong alibi and considerable exculpatory evidence and was quickly acquitted by the jury, I still believe that there must be good reason to think that the defendant is not completely innocent in the case. Otherwise, the prosecutor would not have brought charges in the first place. | The reasoning in the television host's argument is flawed in that the argument confuses legal standards for guilt with moral standards for guilt. | not-entailment |
12,092 | Since John Lindy was named vice president of sales, the highest ranked salespeople have been successfully recruited by rival companies, sales in all departments have plummeted, and company morale is down. This information clearly provides proof that John Lindy was named vice president of sales to ruin the company. | The reasoning in the argument is weak because the argument presupposes that because conditions resulted from a change, the change was made to create those conditions. | entailment |
8,101 | Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe, and about 75 percent of the sun today is hydrogen. This suggests that hydrogen was the main component of the solar system when it formed. With the formation of the Sun, most of the solar system's material was concentrated in the Sun, while outside the sun, the elements were stratified: close to the Sun, the temperature was very high, leaving only the relatively heavy elements such as silicon, iron, oxygen, these elements together to form mercury, Venus, Earth and other rocky planets; Farther away from the Sun, as temperatures cool, the proportions of these elements decrease, and the planet's atmosphere becomes dominated by hydrogen, with some nitrogen, such as Jupiter and Saturn; At the edge of the solar system, there are few heavy elements, mostly water ice, methane and so on. | The main text introduction is the influence of temperature on the solar system's material composition. | entailment |
12,381 | Although the charter of Westside School states that the student body must include some students with special educational needs, no students with learning disabilities have yet enrolled in the school. Ttherefore, the school is currently in violation of its charter. | The conclusion of the argument follows logically if the statement 'The only students with special educational needs are students with learning disabilities' is assumed. | entailment |
1,267 | In order to help poverty-stricken areas get rid of poverty, for a long time, people from all walks of life have carried out assistance in various forms, the idea of poverty alleviation has become clearer, the means of poverty alleviation have become more diverse, and new ways such as cultural poverty alleviation, tourism poverty alleviation and e-commerce poverty alleviation have achieved remarkable results. However, in some areas that have not yet been lifted out of poverty, it is difficult to develop anti-poverty industries because of poor natural conditions. To gnaw off the hard bones of poverty alleviation, we still need to play the science and technology card. | The most suitable title for this passage is 'Play well the science and technology card of getting rid of poverty'. | entailment |
12,645 | The suicide wave that followed the United States stock market crash of October 1929 is more legend than fact. Careful examination of the monthly figures on the causes of death in 1929 shows that the number of suicides in October and in November was comparatively low. In only three other months were the monthly figures lower. During the summer months, when the stock market was flourishing, the number of suicides was substantially higher. | The statement 'Because of seasonal differences, the number of suicides in October and November of 1929 would not be expected to be the same as those for other months' would best challenge the conclusion of the passage. | not-entailment |
1,461 | With the acceleration of modernization, the development space of traditional culture has been compressed. There are many factors influencing this, but the inflexibility of traditional culture and the lack of innovation ability is also an important reason. On the one hand, they are stuck in their own ways, not seeking change and falling behind The Times; On the one hand, they live in Baoshan without realizing it, and the excellent cultural wealth has not been fully exploited and utilized. The story of Mulan was made into an animated film by The Americans, and its influence has crossed national boundaries, which fully shows the charm of traditional folk culture innovation. | The main meaning of the expression is that the acceleration of modernization is the main reason why traditional culture falls behind. | not-entailment |
2,516 | At the dinosaur excavation site in Xinjiang, experts predict that dinosaur skulls may be found. | The proposition 'Not necessarily not finding dinosaur skulls' has the same meaning as an expert. | entailment |
10,971 | Many scholars believe that official medieval persecutions of various minority groups were undertaken very reluctantly by medieval authorities and only in order to soothe popular unrest caused by underlying popular hostility to the groups in question. This belief is highly questionable. For one thing, there are few indications of any profound underlying popular hostility toward persecuted groups in cases where persecutions were particularly violent and sustained. For another, the most serious and widespread persecutions carried out by medieval authorities seem to have had as targets exactly those groups that most effectively disputed these authorities' right to govern. | The argument proceeds by citing both a lack of evidence supporting a particular explanation and further evidence that suggests an alternative explanation. | entailment |
3,138 | Disjunctive syllogism: it refers to the reasoning that one sentence in the premise is disjunctive judgment, and then deduces the conclusion according to the disjunctive judgment and the relationship between disjunctions. | According to the above definition, the statement 'Because all matter in the universe is in the process of constant motion and change, the sun is also in motion' belongs to disjunctive syllogism. | not-entailment |

D, who was on the side, learned the truth and commented, only one of you stole it, and only one of you was right. | A stole the incense money. | not-entailment |
8,245 | The development of metamaterials is to combine artificial composites with different electromagnetic response properties according to specific rules. The properties of these materials are not only determined by the material itself, but also closely related to the shape, size, arrangement and combination of its structure. By changing the structure and size of the key locations of metamaterials, people can achieve arbitrary bending and fine reduction of light waves, radar waves, radio waves, sound waves and even seismic waves like building blocks. For example, with the help of a thin layer of metamaterial that allows light to bypass the object, researchers began to study the invisibility cloak that makes the object invisible. | The main content of metamaterials introduced in this paragraph is the development principle. | entailment |
8,880 | The report on the results of an important experiment was controversial and the experiment was repeated under the guidance of a scientist, but did not get the same results as the original experiment; the scientist thus concluded that the initial experimental results were caused by the wrong method of measurement. | The hypothesis reasoned by the scientist is that if the result of the first experiment is correct, then the same result should be obtained when the experiment is carried out under the same conditions. | entailment |
10,749 | Manager: The only employees who should receive bonuses this year are those who were exceptionally productive over the past year. Liang is an excellent account executive, but she works in a corporate division that has failed to meet its productivity goals for the year. Thus Liang should not receive a bonus this year. | The reasoning in the manager's argument is flawed in that it fails to justify its use of one group's performance as the basis for a conclusion about a wholly different group. | not-entailment |
10,254 | In recent years, the number of private cars has increased sharply. In order to solve the increasingly serious problem of traffic congestion, City B decided to greatly reduce the ticket price of urban ground bus lines. It is expected that 96% of passengers will reduce their expenses after the implementation of the price reduction, which will attract passengers to take buses first, thereby alleviating traffic congestion in city B. | The statement 'Which of the followings, if true, can most effectively weaken the above conclusion?' can most effectively weaken the above conclusion. | not-entailment |
7,465 | In the Six Dynasties, the famous talker Liu Zun talked a lot, but he also admired people who didn't talk. He was very happy to see Jiang Quan not speaking often, and said: Jiang Quan can't speak, but it's really admirable to be able to not speak. Jiang Quan knew that he was not talking, but he knew how to hide. Not everyone knows where his shortcomings are, so as to be a teacher, there are countless people who can talk about it. It is excusable to be able to talk and love to talk; many people know that they are not good at talking. It happens that they keep talking and explode their shortness, which is often annoying. Therefore, it can be said that Jiang Quan's doing this is actually an extremely rare kind of intelligence. | The option 'It's a kind of self-knowledge that can't speak without saying it', if correct, can best support the above statement. | entailment |
14,602 | Studies have shown that treating certain illnesses with treatment X produces the same beneficial changes in patients' conditions as treating the same illnesses with treatment Y. Furthermore, treatment X is quicker and less expensive than treatment Y. Thus, in treating these illnesses, treatment X should be preferred to treatment Y. | If true, the statement that until recently, treatment X was more expensive than treatment Y would most weaken the argument above. | not-entailment |
13,574 | Commissioner: Budget forecasters project a revenue shortfall of a billion dollars in the coming fiscal year. Since there is no feasible way to increase the available funds, our only choice is to decrease expenditures. The plan before you outlines feasible cuts that would yield savings of a billion dollars over the coming fiscal year. We will be able to solve the problem we face, ttherefore, only if we adopt this plan. | The reasoning in the commissioner's argument is flawed because this argument takes for granted that there is no way to increase available funds. | not-entailment |
13,962 | A recent magazine article argued that most companies that do not already own videoconferencing equipment would be wasting their money if they purchased it. However, this is clearly not true. In a recent survey of businesses that have purchased such equipment, most of the respondents stated that the videoconferencing equipment was well worth its cost. | The reasoning in the argument is flawed because it concludes that something is worth its cost merely on the grounds that many businesses have purchased it. | not-entailment |
13,581 | One of the 10 computer manuals published by company T in 2005 was made for home computers. Exactly five of the advertisements released by company T featured those manuals written for home computers. Since 20 advertisements were released by company T in 2006, no more than one-quarter of them featured the computer manuals published by company T in 2005. | The statement 'None of the advertisements released by company T in 2006 featured computer manuals other than the ones written for home computers' allows the conclusion above to be properly drawn. | entailment |

11,035 | Funding opponent: Some people favor city funding for the spaying and neutering of pets at the owners' request. They claim that the decrease in the number of stray animals to contend with will offset the cost of the funding. These people fail to realize that over 80 percent of pet owners already pay to spay or neuter their animals, so there will not be a significant decrease in the number of stray animals in the city if this funding is provided. | The majority of pets that are not spayed or neutered are used for breeding purposes, and are not likely to produce stray animals weakens the argument of the funding opponent. | not-entailment |

8,857 | On the grasslands of Africa, a fierce leopard can catch almost any antelope it decides to catch. And once the antelope is not targeted by the hungry leopard, its best chance of escape is that the leopard will soon find another animal as its target. Therefore, the antelope following the activities of the group can reduce the risk of being eaten by leopards. | The hypothesis on which the above argument is based is that Leopards can't eat an entire herd of antelopes at once. | entailment |
1,124 | It is not necessary to use a strong melody to create a successful (or even great) work, but a beautiful, easy-to-hum melody will always give ordinary laymen more joy.

After analyzing data over the years, the researchers found that the average telomere length of women who had at least one child was 4.2% shorter than that of infertile women. This percentage is equivalent to 11 years of cell aging, outpacing the effects of smoking and obesity on cell aging. As a result, it has been suggested that having children will speed up the aging of women. | Giving birth is good for women's health and can reduce the risk of many diseases. Breastfeeding for one year can reduce women's risk of breast cancer by 30% cannot refute the above point of view. | entailment |
10,449 | Critics: as the practice of electronic monitoring of employees becomes more and more common, it is becoming more and more intrusive to personal privacy. I have also heard more and more defences from employers for this practice. They explain that the purpose of monitoring is to keep employees honest, efficient and polite to customers. In my opinion, this explanation is obviously in the service of the employer himself and does not justify the unreasonable invasion of personal privacy at all. | The option 'Attack an argument that is different from the argument actually put forward by the employer' best points out the flaw in the critic's argument. | not-entailment |
