标题: 『3-Q17 我的理解』！

Q17:

Brochure: Help conserve our city’s water supply. By converting the landscaping in your yard to a water-conserving landscape, you can greatly reduce your outdoor water use. A water-conserving landscape is natural and attractive, and it also saves you money.

Criticism: For most people with yards, the savings from converting to a water-conserving landscape cannot justify the expense of new landscaping, since typically the conversion would save less than twenty dollars on a homeowner’s yearly water bills.

Which of the following, if true, provides the best basis for a rebuttal of the criticism?

Even homeowners whose yards do not have water-conserving landscapes can conserve water by installing water-saving devices in their homes.
A conventional landscape generally requires a much greater expenditure on fertilizer and herbicide than does a water-conserving landscape.
A significant proportion of the residents of the city live in buildings that do not have yards.
It costs no more to put in water-conserving landscaping than it does to put in conventional landscaping.
Some homeowners use more water to maintain their yards than they use for all other purposes combined.

brochure说为了节约用水，把landscaping变成有蓄水功能的，美观又省钱。

Criticism反驳：省出来的钱还不够新landscaping的开销呢，因为只省了不到20美金的水费帐单。

问criticism的weak。 bsis of criticism 就是加强，如果the basis for a rebuttal of criticism,就是减弱。

B是答案：为了b直接削弱了criticism的理由。虽然省出来的钱不多，但是传统的别的开销还是很多，因此变还是省钱了。

欢迎讨论！！！
