GWD2-10 还有疑问 20号考 急寻帮助。。

Environmentalist:  The use of snowmobiles in the vast park north of Milville create sun acceptable levels of air pollution and should be banned.

Milville business spokesperson:  Snowmobiling brings many out-of-towners to Milville  in winter months, to the great financial benefit of many local residents.  So, economics dictate that we put up with the pollution.

Environmentalist: I disagree:  A great many cross-country skiers are now kept from visiting Milville by the noise and pollution that snowmobiles generate.

Environmentalist responds to the business spokesperson by doing which of the following?

A.     Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome can derive from only one set of circumstances

B.     Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome is outweighed by negative aspects associated with producing that outcome

C.     Maintaining that the benefit that the spokesperson desires could be achieved in greater degree by a different means

D.   Claiming that the spokesperson is deliberately misrepresenting the environmentalist’s position in order to be better able to attack it

E.    Denying that an effect that the spokesperson presents as having benefited a certain group of people actually benefited those people

答案是E

我的问题是E中指的 a certain of people 应该是指文中的local residents. 但是按照E 讲的deny the effect that...actually benefited those people  （those people = local residents)

文中并没有讲到对local residents的benefit否啊 只是说许多skier are now kept from visiting by the noise and pollution that snowmobiles generate.

麻烦NN帮我分析 多谢

spokesperson讲的话中不就是说snowmobiles招徕大量游客,使本地居民从经济上受益吗? 而environmentalist反驳说因为噪音大游客都不来了,本地居民当然就没法象以前设想的那样受益啦.

原来如此啊 恍然大悟！

多谢colorant

A. Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome can derive from only one set of circumstances

B. Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome is outweighed by negative aspects associated with producing that outcome

这两个that是指assumption? or challenge?

B  Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome is outweighed by negative aspects associated with producing that outcome

这个选项是不是说反了？
