单选题 The workers at Bell Manufacturing will shortly go on strike unless the management increases their wages. As Bell's president is well aware, however, in order to increase the workers' wages, Bell would have to sell off some of its subsidiaries. So, some of Bell's subsidiaries will be sold.
The conclusion above is properly drawn if which one of the following is assumed?

A、 Bell Manufacturing will begin to suffer increased losses.
B、 Bell's management will refuse to increase its workers' wages.
C、 The workers at Bell Manufacturing will not be going on strike.
D、 Bell's president has the authority to offer the workers their desired wage increase.
E、 (E) Bell's workers will not accept a package of improved benefits in place of their desired wage increase.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 本题的结论是Bell的某些子公司将会被出售，该结论是给工人涨工资的必要条件，而给工人涨工资又是工人不举行罢工的必要条件，因此Bell的某些子公司将被出售是工人不举行罢工的必要条件，也即工人不举行罢工，那么必要条件“Bell的某些子公司被出售”必定发生，由此分析可知(C)是正确答案。其余四个选项既不能推出结论，也不能从结论中推出，都是错误选项。
