OG 11-101

For a trade embargo against a particular country to succeed, a high degree of both international accord and ability to prevent goods from entering or leaving that country must be sustained. A total blockade of Patria’s ports is necessary to an embargo, but such an action would be likely to cause international discord over the embargo.

The claims above, if true, most strongly support which of the following conclusions?

(A) The balance of opinion is likely to favor Patria in the event of a blockade.
(B) As long as international opinion is unanimously against Patria, a trade embargo is likely to succeed.
(C) A naval blockade of Patria’s ports would ensure that no goods enter or leave Patria.
(D) Any trade embargo against Patria would be likely to fail at some time.
(E) For a blockade of Patria’s ports to be successful, international opinion must be unanimous.

 这道题看完以后没有看懂，里面的Patria是什么意思？请那位大牛帮我分析分析？

前提1：a high degree of both international accord
前提2：ability to prevent goods from entering or leaving
在此2者条件满足的情况下，a trade embargo才能够成功。

现在要对patria进行embargo，然而前提1可能无法满足(would be likely to cause international discord)，所以结论是：

trade embargo可能无法成功。(be likely to fail)

连语气都精确对应啊。

楼上的mm分析的很清晰，多谢阿。
