3. The United States has never been a great international trader. It found most of its raw materials and customers for finished products within its own borders. The terrible consequences of this situation have become apparent, as this country now owes the largest foreign debt in the world and is a playground for wealthy foreign investors. The moral is clear: a country can no more live without foreign trade than a dog can live by eating its own tail.
In order to advance her point of view, the author does each of the following EXCEPT
(A) draw on an analogy
(B) appeal to historical fact
(C) identify a cause and an effect
(D) suggest a cause of the current economic situation
(E) question the ethical basis of an economic situation

Why B is wrong, what is the historical fact refer to here? And what is the ethical basis has been questioned? The key is E, thanks.

Questions 24
In opposing the 1970 Clean Air Act, the United States automobile industry argued that meeting the act’s standards for automobile emissions was neither economically feasible nor environmentally necessary. However, the catalytic converter, invented in 1967, enabled automakers to meet the 1970 standards efficiently. Currently, automaker are lobbying against the government’s attempt to pass legislation that would tighten restrictions on automobile emissions. The automakers contend that these new restrictions would be overly expensive and unnecessary to efforts to curb air pollution. Clearly, the automobile industry’s position should not be heeded.

Which one of the following most accurately expresses the method used to counter the automakers’
current position?
(A) The automakers’ premises are shown to lead to a contradiction.
(B) Facts are mentioned that show that the automakers are relying on false information.
(C) A flaw is pointed out in the reasoning used by the automakers to reach their conclusion.
(D) A comparison is drawn between the automakers’ current position and a position they held in the past.
(E) Evidence is provided that the new emissions legislation is both economically feasible and environmentally necessary.

What’s wrong with E? The key is D.

Thanks.

第三题你是不是没有看到那个EXCEPT啊，就是那个错啊，其他的都对嘛

第二个题
原文中没有提到e中的the new emissions legislation is both economically feasible and environmentally necessary
既然是高标准怎么可能是economically feasible 呢
只有d才是对的，因为这里用乐一个类比，把以前的情况和现在的情况做一个比较，以前可以实现的环保标准现在也应该可以实现，有空你可以看看七宗罪的逻辑错误总结，常见的问题里面都涉及到了

偶觉得关键是什么叫
historical fact,
什么叫
ethical basis

这里的historical fact 是关键是在与对时态的理解:
It found most of its raw materials and customers for finished products within its own borders.这句话最是历史事实了.

ethical basis 是道德伦理基础,显然没提到.

还请指教

To: flora_wang
Thanks, originally i think the moral is some kind of refer to the ethical basis.

To: 番茄炒蛋, can i reason in this way:
In the article "The automakers contend that these new restrictions would be overly expensive and unnecessary to efforts to curb air pollution."

The question is ask you to counter the automakers’ current position?

Choice E: Evidence is provided that the new emissions legislation is both economically feasible and environmentally necessary.

I thought E is just counter the argument of the automakers. Am I wrong?
