Question 10:
Environmentalist: The use of snowmobiles in the vast park north of Milville creates
unacceptable levels of air pollution and should be banned.
Milville business spokesperson: Snowmobiling brings many out-of-towners to Milville in winter months, to the great financial benefit of many local residents. So, economics dictate that we put up with (容忍)the pollution.
Environmentalist: I disagree: A great many cross-country skiers are now kept from visiting Milville by the noise and pollution that snowmobiles generate.
Environmentalist responds to the business spokesperson by doing which of the following?
A. Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome can derive from only one set of circumstances
B. Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome is outweighed by negative aspects associated with producing that outcome
C. Maintaining that the benefit that the spokesperson desires could be achieved
in greater degree by a different means
D. Claiming that the spokesperson is deliberately misrepresenting the environmentalist’s
position in order to be better able to attack it
E. Denying that an effect that the spokesperson presents as having benefited a certain
group of people actually benefited those people
答案选B, 我觉得A是对的. Milville business spokesperson的结论不就是只考虑到吸引了out towners这一种情况吗?
我对B选项的outwighted by 理解不透. 此句wording 好象是把原assumption 变成了negative aspects outwithed desirable outcome.
B. Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome is outweighed by negative aspects associated with producing that outcome
是不是我理解错了? 请指教!
