An overly centralized economy, not the changes in the climate, is responsible for the poor agricultural production in Country X since its new government came to power.  Neighboring Country Y has experienced the same climatic conditions, but while agricultural production has been falling in Country X, it has been rising in Country Y.

 

Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the argument above?

 

(A) Industrial production also is declining in Country X.

(B) Whereas Country Y is landlocked, Country X has a major seaport.

(C) Both Country X and Country Y have been experiencing drought conditions.

(D) The crops that have always been grown in Country X are different from those that have always been grown in Country Y.

(E) Country X's new government instituted a centralized economy with the intention of ensuring an equitable distribution of goods.

答案是D.... 可是B为什么不对能...道理和D一样呀...都是有别的原因引起PRODUCTION的不同呀....

这题选项设计的也不好.
文中结论说overly centralized economy, not the changes in the climate, is responsible for the poor agricultural production in Country X. 可是选项D并没有说是centralized economy造成的差异,只能当中还有这么一个假设,country X due to powder of new G 耕种了不适合当地气候的农作物.而country Y耕种了适应天气的农作物,所以才有了选项D这个答案~
我总觉得不好,尽管第一眼下去D就有正确选项的样子,不过经不起细细推敲
