标题: LSAT-10-4-22

22.(C) When butterfat was considered nutritious and healthful, a law was enacted requiring that manufacturers use the term “imitation butter” to indicate butter whose butterfat content had been diminished through the addition of water. Today, it is known that the high cholesterol content of butterfat makes it harmful to human health. Since the public should be encouraged to eat foods with lower rather than higher butterfat content and since the term “imitation” with its connotations of falsity deters many people from purchasing products so designated, manufactures who wish to give reduced-butterfat butter the more appealing name of “lite butter” should be allowed to do so.

Which one of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument?

(A) The manufacturers who prefer to use the word “lite” instead of “imitation” are motivated principally by the financial interest of their stock holders.

(B) The manufacturers who wish to call their product “lite butter” plan to change the composition of the product so that it contains more water than it now does.

(C) Some individuals who need to reduce their intake of cholesterol are not deterred from using the reduced-butterfat product by the negative connotations of the term “imitation.”

(D) Cholesterol is only one of many factors that contribute to the types of health problems with which the consumption of excessive amounts of cholesterol is often associated.（E）

看不懂啊！

当butterfat被认为是好东西时，法律要求butterfat含量低的Butter标明为“imitation butter”。现在butterfat被认为不是好东西。因为应鼓励吃butterfat含量低的食品，而且“imitation butter”的说法吓住了大家，所以应允许生产商用“lite butter”的名去标butterfat含量低的butter。

sorry, 补上E

(E) Most people deterred from eating “imitation butter” because of its name choose alternatives with a lower butterfat content than this product has.

我的理解：因为名字的缘故阻碍人们购买imitation butter，所以要换名字。

E削弱：大多数人会选择另一个品牌的butter.所以不需要换名字

D削弱：有些人不会因为名字的缘故而不购买imitation butter.所以不需要换名字

所以我选D.但答案是E.

你选的是C 吧?

原文的意思是, 由于1)需要鼓励公众吃BUTTERFAT含量低的食品, 2) 一些人被IMITATION 这个词吓住了, 因为它含有"虚假"之意, 所以不买. 所以要换名字

C的意思是一些刻意注意吃低脂肪含量的人不会被IMITATION这个名字吓住，所以不需要换名字

C不选是因为: C其实没有削弱，因为它没有否定原因2, 刻意注意的人没有被吓住，但不排除一种可能，既被吓住的人都是那些不刻意注意降脂的人，而他们也属于需要被鼓励的大众范围内. 也就是说, C 没有削弱2)

E刚好，被吓住的人反而因此去选FAT含量更低的产品，多好啊，还改什么名呀?
