GWD-2-Question 10:

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

having benefited a certain

group of people actually benefited “those people” those people 是不是指当地居民？如果是的话，为什么选E? 我觉得B更合理一点？ 大家说呢？

你把B翻译一下，看看他的中文意思。

B的意思刚好说了个相反的意思。

哦，只注意了assumption的内容，没注意前面是chanllenging!!
