GWD11-Q20

GWD11-Q20:

Nitrogen dioxide is a pollutant emitted by automobiles.  Catalytic converters, devices designed to reduce nitrogen dioxide emissions, have been required in all new cars in Donia since 1993, and as a result, nitrogen dioxide emissions have been significantly reduced throughout most of the country.  Yet although the proportion of new cars in Donia’s capital city has always been comparatively high, nitrogen dioxide emissions there have showed only an insignificant decline since 1993.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the insignificant decline in nitrogen dioxide emissions in Donia’s capital city?

1. More of the cars in Donia’s capital city were made before 1993 than after 1993.
2. The number of new cars sold per year in Donia has declined slightly since 1993.
3. Pollutants other than nitrogen dioxide that are emitted by automobiles have also been significantly reduced in Donia since 1993.
4. Many Donians who own cars made before 1993 have had catalytic converters installed in their cars.
5. Most car trips in Donia’s capital city are too short for the catalytic converter to reach its effective working temperature.

答案是E吗？我选A，不解？

A咋一看好像我也觉得对，后来一想，这个车子啊，每年都有人买车的，只要是93年后买的新车，肯定有那个装置啊，而且随着时间的流逝，肯定新车越来越多啊，所以A不能选

B slightly，没啥帮助

都排除了，只能选E喽

我又看了一遍A是不是错在MORE上了，如果是MOST怎么样？

我自己雖然也錯，但是看了一下，題目中有說

Yet although the proportion of new cars in Donia's capital city has always been comparatively high,

若是選A，就跟題目中的敘述有衝突

所以選E才對
