In one state, all cities and most towns have antismoking ordinances. A petition entitled “Petition for Statewide Smoking Restriction” is being circulated to voters by campaign workers who ask only, “Do you want to sign a petition for statewide smoking restriction?” The petition advocates a state law banning smoking in most retail establishments and in government offices that are open to the public.
Which of the following circumstances would make the petition as circulated misleading to voters who understand the proposal as extending the local ordinances statewide?
C The state law would supersede the local antismoking ordinances, which contain stronger bans than the state law does.
E The state law would not affect existing local ordinances banning smoking in places where the fire authorities have determined that smoking would constitute a fire hazard.

Since virtually everyone has access to a private telephone , these alarm boxes have outlived their usefulness . Therefore , we propose to remove the boxes . Removing the boxes will reduce the number of prank calls without hampering people’s ability to report a fire>
Which of the following , if true , most strongly supports the claim that the proposal . if carried out , will have the announced effect
A The fire department traces all alarm calls made from private telephones and records where they came from
B a telephone call can provide the fire department with more information about the nature and size of a fire than can an alarm placed from an alarm box

这两题我以前看过完整的题目。记得答案好像是这个。记忆正确率应该能达到80％吧。
版主要上战场了？ 加油！！！
呵呵,天道酬勤,终于还是被我找到了,大家看看吧

偶选A，其他选项都是不相关的内容。
第一题选这个吧：
In rural areas of the state, there are relatively few retail establishment and government offices that are open to the public
因为petition的misleading之处在于，其口号要求在全州禁烟，但实际只要求在两个特定的公共场合禁烟。而农村里几乎没这两种公共场合，所以它是misleading的。
c选项不对，因为c说的是"strong"(强度）的问题，而petition的misleading在于广度上。

问：下面那种情况会误导投票者认为这个请愿书只是把地方法规扩展到全国范围？言下有两层意思：
1. 这个法规实际上并不是单单将地方现有的法规扩展适用到全国范围，而是在条款上有区别的。
2. 即是有误导作用的，那么就是说它们对投票者来说就是简单的将法规扩展到全国范围，而没有指出其中的区别。
(A) The state law would not affect existing local ordinances baning smoking in places where the fire authorities have determined that smoking would constitute a fire hazard
((D) The state law would supersede the local antismoking ordinances, which contain stronger bans than the state law does
A，消除了差异，更确切地说使差异没有体现出来，就会产生误导。
D，恰恰指出了差异，就不会产生误导。
你先看看偶的对题目的理解是否正确？谢谢！
我明白我们俩答案的差异了,我的理解是这样的,和MM刚好相反:
Which of the following circumstances would make the petition as circulated misleading to <voters who understand the proposal as extending the local ordinances statewide >?
下列哪种情形会使这项请愿对投票人产生误导?这些投票人将这一建议理解为地区级条令向国家级条令的延伸
我觉得整个who从句是用来修饰voters的定语,你说呢?
结合题目和所问的问题,我是这样想的:
各个城市原来就有禁烟令,现在的请愿书是想在全州范围内实现禁烟,禁止在对公众开放的销售场所和政府机关内吸烟. 人们都已为这是对原有的本城市禁烟令的一种延伸,可是如果新的全州范围内的法令把原来的禁烟令中更严格的规定取消了, 那么这就不是所谓的人们理解的延伸措施了,因此misleading
不对的地方MM请指正
which one makes the petition misleading to voters?
1.Voters understand the petition as extending the local ordinances statewide
2.the petition misleads the voters (the petition is misleading to voters)
3.which one makes the petition mislead them?
marie mm，还是不太明白你的意思
问题是问怎么样的情况会产生误导。D清楚地说明了state law与local law的差异，怎么会对voters 产生误导呢？
偶觉得误导是这样产生的，事实：异因同果，误导的过程和结果：根据这个同果推出自己认定的那个原因，而这个原因可能并不是真正的原因。
第一题
The state law would supersede the local antismoking ordinances, which contain stronger bans than the state law does.
投票者理解是扩展, 不是修改, 结果不是, 洲法改了市法, 而宣传者没告诉他们. MARIEZHU说得很清楚. 我钢材说错了.
请把这个删了好吗, 刚来不太会用, 搞乱了.
谢谢marie mm！真是辛苦了。

To get the answer, we first need to understand the question. We need to know what "proposal as extending the local ordinances statewide" mean. Simply put, it means that the content or body of the ordinances will be retained while the jurisdiction of the ordinances will be expanded to cover the state. One example: if local ordinances forbid smoking in bars in the city, the state law will forbid smoking in bars, statewide.
Now let's look at the choices:
A. I do not think A is correct for one reason: ordinance banning smoking for fire hazard does not constitute anti-smoking ordinances. For exmaple, banning smoking at gas station and banning smoking in hospital are two different stories. When A is true, the petition is not misleading.
B. Irrelevant. Nothing exists to link the two.
C. Irrelevant. We need to focus on what each choice, if valid, will affect the argument. If the argument is about whether the state law will be effective in rural area, C might be relevant. For this particular question, C does not provide any link between the state law and local ordinances. Therefore C is incorrect. For those who picked C, you have to know what GMAT CR is all about first.
D. To me D is the perfect answer. It provides the link between the two. If the state law contains less strict ban than local ordinances, we can conclude that the state law does not encompass all the local ordinances. Apparently the state law does not simply extend the jurisdiction of local ordinances, but change the body of them. Therefore D is correct.
E. No linkage.
Personal opinion only for your reference.

谢谢mindfree的解释! 不过偶可能没有看懂题目。先问这样一个问题吧：就题干而言，事实上这个state law是仅仅在local law的基础上扩大管辖范围，还是不仅扩大了管辖范围还改变了条款内容。并请给出理由。谢谢！
“In one state , all cities and most towns have antismoking ordinance . A petition entitled " petition for statewide smoking restriction" is being circulated to voters by campain workers who ask only . " Do you want to sign a petition for statewide smoking restriction ?" the petition advocates a state law banning smoking in most retail establishments and in government offices that are open to the public ”
选项D看来没问题，但是：
Which of the following circumstances would make the petitionj as circulated misleading to voters who understand the proposal as extending the local ordinances statewide ?
这个问题看不懂，什么意思？make sth as sth，这个用法是错的呀。是不是这个as应该是a？
