Environmental organizations want to preserve the land surrounding the Wilgrinn Wilderness Area from residential development. They plan to do this by purchasing that land from the farmers who own it. That plan is ill-conceived: if the farmers did sell their land, they would sell it to the highest bidder, and developers would outbid any other bidders. On the other hand, these farmers will never actually sell any of the land, provided that farming it remains viable. But farming will not remain viable if the farms are left unmodernized, and most of the farmers lack the financial resources modernization requires. And that is exactly why a more sensible preservation strategy would be to assist the farmers to modernize their farms to the extent needed to maintain viability.

In the argument as a whole, the two boldface proportions play which of the following roles?

AThe first presents a goal that the argument rejects as ill-conceived; the second is evidence that is presented as grounds for that rejection.
BThe first presents a goal that the argument concludes cannot be attained; the second is a reason offered in support of that conclusion.
CThe first presents a goal that the argument concludes can be attained; the second is a judgment disputing that conclusion.
DThe first presents a goal, strategies for achieving which are being evaluated in the argument; the second is a judgment providing a basis for the argument's advocacy of a particular strategy.
EThe first presents a goal that the argument endorses; the second presents a situation that the argument contends must be changed if that goal is to be met in the foreseeable future.

正确答案: D

the first BF
The first presents a goal, strategies for achieving which are being evaluated in the argument
miaomiaomiao可以好好看看这句话，这句话并不是说BF讲到一个strategy，只是说讲到一个goal, 然后讲strategies for the goal stated in the BF are being evaluated in the argument(actually, there are 2 strategies being discussed in the argument).

the second BF
the second is a judgment providing a basis for the argument’s advocacy of a particular strategy.

因为如果地还可以耕的话，农民就不会卖地，所以就不会有环境问题，所以这样就可以达到环抱的目的，正是因为这个judgment，才引出了第二个strategy，就是帮助农民。

E 对第一个BF的解释是对的，对第二个是错的，第二个BF不是一个solution, 是一个judgment或者说是一个consideration。
