※ 引述《Birou (十里春風不如你)》之銘言：
: Newspaper editorial:
: In an attempt to reduce the crime rate, the governor is getting tough on
: criminals and making prison conditions harsher. Part of this effort has been
: to deny inmates the access they formerly had to college-level courses.
: However, this action is clearly counter to the governor's ultimate goal,
: since after being released from prison, inmates who had taken such courses
: committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates.
: Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
: A. Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is unlikely
: to deter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed.
: B. Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the
: general population.
: C. The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not
: already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released.
: D. Taking high school level courses in prison has less effect on an inmate's
: subsequent behavior than taking college-level courses does.
: E. The governor's ultimate goal actually is to gain popularity by convincing
: people that something effective is being done about crime.
: 答案 (C)
: 這題是認定大學課程可以減少囚犯再犯率，那為何答案 (A) 不行呢?
: 請眾高手幫忙解答，謝謝

此題的因果關係為:
上過大學課程的囚犯犯罪率低
