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?
分析A选项
分析B选项
分析C选项
分析D选项
分析E选项

黑体第一句：说明completeness. 后面说根据这个completeness, one point stands out: population declines。
再后面都是通过说明一些原因什么的来证明最后一句也就是黑体第二句，作者的观点：declines did not happen。
第二部分是作者的结论(position），而不是consideration或assumption.
ABE选项是consideration，D是assumption。排除后，剩C。

是完整性显示出了decline和税有关，因此支持了作者的观点

叶赫那个拉回复Roy
我本来也选的A，但原文其实不存在argue了什么。原文的意思是census表现出人口减少了，但census的完整性显示出它的变化和tax有关等等一系列，所以最后得了一个结论就是人口是没减少的。因此黑体第一句“census很complete”就是为结论提供了context，黑体第二句就是结论。
