急问两道题

Springfield Fire Commissioner : the vast majority of false fire alarms are prank calls made anonymously from fire alarm boxes on street corners . Since virtually everyone has access to a private telephone , these alarm boxes have outlived their usefulness . Therefore , we propose to remove the boxes . Removing the boxes will reduce the number of prank calls without hampering people’s ability to report a fire>

Which of the following , if true , most strongly supports the claim that the proposal . if carried out , will have the announced effect

A   The fire department traces all alarm calls made from private telephones and records where they came from

B    a telephone call can provide the fire department with more information about the nature and size of a fire than can an alarm placed from an alarm box

大家觉得选哪个啊?

In one state , all cities and most towns have antismoking ordinance . A petition entitled “ petition for statewide smoking restriction “ is being circulated to voters by campain workers who ask only .’ Do you want to sign a petition for statewide smoking restriction ?” the petition advocates a state law banning smoking in most retail establishments and in government offices that are open to the public .

Which of the following circumstances would make the petitionj as circulated misleading to voters who understand the proposal as extending the local ordinances statewide ?

The state law would not affect existing local ordinances baning smoking in places where the fire authorities have determined that smoking would constitute a fire hazard   

Health costs associated with smoking cause health insurance premiums to rise for everyone and so affect nonsmokers

In rural areas of the state, there are relatively few retail establishment and government offices that are open to the public

The state law would supersede the local antismoking ordinances, which contain stronger bans than the state law does

There is considerable sentiment among voters in most areas of the state for restriction of smoking

这题是机井还是什么题啊，以前好像没有怎么看到过

两个答案我怎么觉得都不是很好，实在要选，我还是选B

Which of the following circumstances would make the petitionj as circulated misleading to voters who understand the proposal as extending the local ordinances statewide ?

这个问题看不懂，什么意思？

For the 1st question, I think that the answer is A.

The question asks "......if carried out , will have the announced effect". The "announced effect" is to "reduce the number of prank calls......".

In A, that "The fire department traces all alarm calls made from private telephones and records where they came from" can "reduce the number of prank calls".

In B, that "provide the fire department with more information about the nature and size of a fire..." does not have much thing to do with "reduce the number of prank calls".  

跟我想法一样，但是答案不是这个

第一题得A有一个比较明显得错误出现在

A   The fire department traces all alarm calls made from private telephones and records where they came from

试想一下，有那个城市会这样做

B得那个more information 就是可以知道是谁打得电话，由于这个就可以减少那种假报警

bryony，怎么找到以前的讨论啊？
