标题: 请教 prep2 - 7
United Lumber will use trees from its forests for two products. The tree trunks will be used for lumber and the branches converted into wood chips to make fiberboard. The cost of this conversion would be the same whether done at the logging site, where the trees are debranched, or at United's factory. However, wood chips occupy less than half the volume of the branches from which they are made.

The information given, if accurate, most strongly supports which of the following?

(A) Converting the branches into wood chips at the logging site would require transporting a fully assembled wood-chipping machine to and from the site.
(B) It would be more economical to debranch the trees at the factory where the fiberboard is manufactured.
(C) The debranching of trees and the conversion of the branches into chips are the only stages in the processing of branches that it would be in United's economic advantage to perform at the logging site.
(D) Transportation costs from the logging site to the factory that are determined by volume of cargo would be lower if the conversion into chips is done at the logging site rather than at the factory.
(E) In the wood-processing industry, branches are used only for the production of wood chips for fiberboard.

答案D 这道题最后一句话不是特别懂还有这不是结论题吗不能出现新信息的 D的Transportation costs 不是新信息吗请教各位NN 谢谢

额其实这题的每个选项都是新信息不觉的吗..
理一下文章的逻辑：在现场伐木和在工厂加工的费用是相同的，但是工厂一般还是回去操作的。其实我感觉这道题应该是一般的support题，由选项的信息来支持工厂的做法。D说明如果带回去操作，路上的运费将会便宜一些

谢谢回答
这道题的说了 “但是工厂一般还是回去操作的”吗？是不是这句话啊 However, wood chips occupy less than half the volume of the branches from which they are made. 没读懂唉不好意思基础不是很好

我觉得最后一句的意思是chip比branch的体积小，而D选项说运费由运输物体的体积决定，所以运chip回去比运branch便宜，而加工费用都一样，所以是就地加工而不在工厂加工。

我认为这句的意思是用树枝做的chips只用到不到原材料的一半也就是说原材料branches只有一半是可以用做chips，而另一半可以理解为加工废料

所以考虑运输成本的因素将chips在林区加工是更加合适的若是去工厂则损失了加工废料体积所产生的运输费用

这道题的最后一句是说wood chips 的体积要比branches的小一半以上。而不是上面所说的拿回工厂加工。

木屑所占据的体积要比用来制造他们的枝条小上一半以上。

你再看看D选项的的意思，运费是依照货物体积而定的，故小体积会省很多钱，于是也就直接在site处加工了。而这一点是被文中内容所支持的，文中说工厂都选择在site处加工，这对于运费是根据体积而定是一个支持。

C选项说debranching 和 convertion 是only stages, 那在logging site 更有经济利益。这个哪里错了？因为Logging site 那里 trees are debranched，第一步省了不就更有经济利益了吗？
