Criminologist: Some legislators advocate mandating a sentence of life in prison for anyone who, having twice served sentences for serious crimes, is subsequently convicted of a third serious crime. These legislators argue that such a policy would reduce crime dramatically, since it would take people with a proven tendency to commit crimes off the streets permanently. What this reasoning overlooks, however, is that people old enough to have served two prison sentences for serious crimes rarely commit more than one subsequent crime. Filling our prisons with such individuals would have exactly the opposite of the desired effect, since it would limit our ability to incarcerate younger criminals, who commit a far greater proportion of serious crimes.

In the argument as a whole, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?

A

The first is a conclusion that the argument as a whole seeks to refute; the second is a claim that has been advanced in support of that conclusion.

E

The first is a generalization about the likely effect of a policy under consideration in the argument; the second points out a group of exceptional cases to which that generalization does not apply.

bf题主要是看作者观点和bf说的一致还是相反。

bf1明显是作者反对的观点。作者认为，这个method没用

bf2是作者的观点，说会有opposite effect。

答案明显出自A B，然后排出A，选B.

第二句boldfaced sentence“Filling our prisons with such individuals would have exactly the opposite of the desired effect”可以判断出它的作用，看后面since引导的原因状语从句 “since it would limit our ability to incarcerate younger criminals...”即可知道这一句是conclusion，而不是claim或其他性质。
