Mayor of Plainsville: In order to help the economy of Plainsville, I am using some of our tax revenues to help bring a major highway through the town and thereby attract new business to Plainsville.
Citizens' group: You must have interests other than our economy in mind. If you were really interested in helping our economy, you would instead allocate the revenues to building a new business park. Since it would bring in twice the business that your highway would.
3. The argument by the citizens; group relies on which one of the following assumptions?
(A) Plainsville presently has no major highways running through it.
(B) The mayor accepts that a new business park would bring in more new business than would the new highway.
(C) The new highway would have no benefits for Plainsville other than attracting new business.
(D) The mayor is required to get approval for all tax revenue allocation plans from the city council.
(E) Plainsville's economy will not be helped unless a new business park of the sort envisioned by the citizens' group is built. 这题WHY B?看了过去关于它的回答没看明白,麻烦哪位高手再说一遍可以吗?
4. Which one of the following principles, if accepted, would most help the citizens' group to justify drawing its conclusion that the mayor has in mind interests other than Plainsville's economy?
(A) Anyone really pursuing a cause will choose the means that that person believes will advance the cause the farthest.
(B) Any goal that includes helping the economy of a community will require public revenues in order to be achieved.
(C) Anyone planning to use resources collected from a group must consult the members of the group before using the resources.
(D) Any cause worth committing oneself to must include specific goals toward which one ca work.
(E) Any cause not pursued by public officials, if it is to be pursued at all, must be pursued by members of the community.这题是A,不懂到底啥意思,哪里体现了SUPPORT的因素了?
3, B --> Between two ways for which the mayor knows that both can boost economy, the major choose a less efficient one( highway), thus, with this awareness in mind, making his claim of helping economy an explicit pseudo-one.
4, A--> a cause ( help economy), advance the cause the farthest ( park that draws twice the business).
3 clear
4，还是不明白，这里advance the cause farthest（that is the park which will bring in twice the business）也是为了提高经济，那怎么说是支持mayor has in mind interests other than XXX‘s economy？还是我对提问压根没理解？
If he had commited to the sore aim, to boost economy, then he would have definately choosed a way that leads to a maximized effect. So, when he behaviored otherwise, there must be an ulterior purpose besides helping economy to justify his behavior.
On the other hand, if he does not know or accept the fact that there is a more efficient way, then he is justifed in following a less farther course.
牛人啊
这个英文解释，令我辈汗颜◎
