19. Industrialists from the country Distopia were accused of promoting the Distopian intervention in the Arcadian civil war merely to insure that the industrialists' facilities in Arcadia made substantial profits during the war. Yet this cannot be the motive since, as the Distopians foresaw, Distopia's federal expenses for the intervention were eight billion dollars, whereas, during the war, profits from the Distopian industrialists’ facilities in Arcadia totaled only four billion dollars.
Which of the following, if true, exposes a serious flaw in the argument made in the second sentence above?
(A) During the Arcadian war, many Distopian industrialists with facilities located in Arcadia experienced a significant rise in productivity in their facilities located in Distopia (B) The largest proportion of Distopia's federal expenses is borne by those who receive no significant industrial profits. (C) Most Distopian industrialists' facilities located in Arcadia are expected to maintain the level of profits they achieved during the war.
(D) Distopian industrialists' facilities in Arcadia made substantial profits before the events that triggered the civil war. (E) Many Distopians expressed concern over the suffering that Arcadians underwent during the civil war.
Answer b 但我怎么觉得B像一个支持而不是反对啊？
SECTION 11- 6 6. F: We ought not to test the safety of new drugs on sentient animals, such as dogs and rabbits. Our benefit means their pain, and they are equal to us in the capacity to feel pain.
G: We must carry out such tests; otherwise, we would irresponsibly sacrifice the human lives that could have been saved by the drugs.
Which of the following, if true, is the best objection that could be made from F's point of view to coun- ter G's point? (A) Even though it is not necessary for people to use cosmetics, cosmetics are also being tested on sentient animals. (B) Medical science already has at its disposal a great number of drugs and other treatments for serious illnesses. (C) It is not possible to obtain scientifically ade- quate results by testing drugs in the test tube, without making tests on living tissue. (D) Some of the drugs to be tested would save human beings from great pain. (E) Many tests now performed on sentient animals can be performed equally well on fertilized chicken eggs that are at a very early stage of development.
Are you sure that the answer to question No.19 is B? I'm a little bit surprised! I think it should be C. Since although during the war this facilities produced only four billion dollars profits,which cannot make up the expenditures for their preservation, it can be foreseen that they, without being destroyed in the war, would continue to function and make new profits after the war.
In regard to question No.6, be sure that you understand the question which asks you to find an opposition based on F's point to conter G's point. "is the best objection that could be made from f's point of view to counter g's point?" F does not agree to test drugs on sentient animals.
明白你的意思，不过B似乎weaken的是 the fact that "industrialists from the country istopia were accused of promoting the distopian intervention in the arcadian civil war merely to insure that the industrialists' facilities in arcadia made substantial profits during the war"，
这道题应该怎么理解问题中说到的which of the following, if true, exposes a serious flaw in the ARGUMENT MADE IN THE SECOND SENTENCE ABOVE? 这里有关系么？是针对整段的weaken还是针对第二句中的解释weaken？
