Questions 85-86
In opposing the 1970 Clean AirAct, the United States automobile industry argued that meeting the act’sstandards for automobile emissions was neither economically feasible norenvironmentally necessary. However, the catalytic converter, invented in 1967,enabled automakers to meet the 1970 standards efficiently. Currently,automakers are lobbying against the government’s attempt to pass legislationthat would tighten restrictions on automobile emissions. The automakers contendthat these new restrictions would be overly expensive and unnecessary toefforts to curb air pollution. Clearly, the automobile industry’s positionshould not be heeded.

85. Which one of the followingmost accurately expresses the method used to counter the automakers’ currentposition?

A. Theautomakers’ premises are shown to lead to a contradiction.
B. Factsare mentioned that show that the automakers are relying on false information.
C. Aflaw is pointed out in the reasoning used by the automakers to reach theirconclusion.
D. Acomparison is drawn between the automakers’ current position and a positionthey held in the past.
E. Evidenceis provided that the new emissions legislation is both economically feasibleand environmentally necessary.

答案选D，我觉得一直说的都是就是都反对批准，因为贵和没必要。 auto industry 和auto maker都这么说。
没看懂！！！！求达人解答

个人理解：
automaker argued that the catalytic converter enable the automakers to meet the 1970 standard, so that new constriction would be expensive and unnecessary.
automaker是拿过去的标准和今天的情况做比较。
A：automaker做的假设引发了一个contradiction，这里没有automaker做的假设。
B：显示automaker依靠了一个错误的信息。这个也没有。
C：指出automaker用一个错误的reasoning推出了他们的结论。其实我个人觉得这个可以，但是确实不如D更为直接。
D：对automaker现在所处的位置和原来的位置做一个对比。很直接的反驳了automaker，既然你用1970年的标准来argue，那么我就告诉你1970年和现在已经不同了。
E：证据表明新的排放法规在经济和环境上都必要可行。这个没什么说服力。
所以D是最好的选项。
