标题: GMATPrep中的一题

For years the beautiful Renaissance buildings in Palitito have been damaged by exhaust from the many tour buses that come to the city. There has been little parking space, so most buses have idled at the curb during each stop on their tour, and idling produces as much exhaust as driving. The city has now provided parking that accommodates a third of the tour buses, so damage to Palitito’s buildings from the buses’ exhaust will diminish significantly.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument?

(A) The exhaust from Palitito’s few automobiles is not significant threat to Palitito’s buildings.

(B) alitito’s Renaissance buildings are not threatened by pollution other than engine exhaust.

(C) Tour buses typically spend less than one-quarter of the time they are in Palitito transporting passengers from one site to another

(D) Most tourists come to Palitito by tour bus than by any other single means of transportation.

(E) Some of the tour buses that are unable to find parking drive around Palitito while their passengers are visiting a site.

为什么B错？请赐教

Is the answer E?

B is wrong because the argument specifically narrowed it to "damage to Palitito’s buildings FROM THE BUSES' EXHAUST." Other source of damage is not part of the discussion here.

答案是C，可能B没有C好，但是困惑B不也是通过排除其他可能性去support "exhaust damage buildings"

Oh oops, you're right. The passage already talked about idling tour buses, not the ones driving around. DOH!

B weakens the argument by providing other sources of damage that the current plan does not address.

pollution other than engine exhaust的确是题目中没有提到的，但是这是support题如果有新信息也是合理的。另外，B怎么会是weaken呢？

Sorry, wasn't thinking straight.

lease refer to what I said in the second post. It doesn't weaken the argument, it's just irrelavant.

I agree with the second post. B is irrelevant.

我的理解
措施型support，措施可以解决问题，
题目中的问题在于：尾气排放毁坏了建筑，所以修车场减少尾气的排放
B: other polluntion无关；同时没有提到如何解决问题的
