UnitedLumber will use trees from its forests for two products. The tree trunks will be used for lumber andthe branches converted into wood chips to make fiberboard. The cost of this conversion would be the samewhether done at the logging site, where the trees are debranched, or atUnited's factory. However, wood chipsoccupy less than half the volume of the branches from which they are made.
Theinformation given, if accurate, most strongly supports which of the following?
(A)Converting the branches into wood chips at the logging site would require transportinga fully assembled wood-chipping machine to and from the site.
(B) Itwould be more economical to debranch the trees at the factory where thefiberboard is manufactured.
(C) Thedebranching of trees and the conversion of the branches into chips are the onlystages in the processing of branches that it would be in United's economicadvantage to perform at the logging site.
(D)Transportation costs from the logging site to the factory that are determinedby volume of cargo would be lower if the conversion into chips is done at thelogging site rather than at the factory.
(E) Inthe wood-processing industry, branches are used only for the production of woodchips for fiberboard.
我选的是C。题目问得是 most strongly supports which of the following 而不是 which of the following most strongly supports the above. 为什么正确答案是D？ 我觉得D更是 which of the following most strongly supports the above. ？？？作者: LittleMike 时间: 2009-11-9 15:31
D没有加强题干，而题干确实支持了D，D说运输成本是由体积决定的，因为题干说在logging site做就能有更小的体积，所以可以推出D说的如果在logging site做就能降低成本的论断作者: xinruiAbby 时间: 2011-10-3 23:18
我也是 选C 不过看看发现C 太绝对了 有ONLY哦~
