GWD18 Q20

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?

1. The first presents a goal that the argument rejects as ill-conceived; the second is evidence that is presented as grounds for that rejection.
2. The first presents a goal that the argument concludes cannot be attained; the second is a reason offered in support of that conclusion.
3. The first presents a goal that the argument concludes can be attained; the second is a judgment disputing that conclusion.
4. The 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.
5. The 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.

这题找不着北。应该怎么做呢？？

D

第一个黑体是文章讨论了半天需要达到的目的

文章只是认为一开始的一个plan不对，并从两种情况来分析，那个plan是不对的

最后提出有其他的办法实现

所以A和B是错的，其都认为第一个黑体是文章不支持的不能实现的，但文章最后说了是可以实现的

C说第二个黑体是用来反驳文章结论的，恰恰相反，第二个黑体是用来支持文章所说那个plan是不对的，所以C错

E说第二个黑体是表述一个情况，这个情况必须改变才能达到目的，但是文章说了，有其他办法，并不需要第二个黑体成立或不成立或是需要什么改变

所以选D
