12. The fewer restrictions there are on the advertising of legal services, the more lawyers there are who advertise their services, and the lawyers who advertise a specific service usually charge less for that service than lawyers who do not advertise. Therefore, if the state removes any of its current restrictions, such as the one against advertisements that do not specify fee arrangements, overall consumer legal costs will be lower than if the state retains its current restrictions.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the argument concerning overall consumer legal costs?
A. The state has recently removed some other restrictions that had limited the advertising of legal services.
B. The state is unlikely to remove all of the restrictions that apply solely to the advertising of legal services.
C. Lawyers who do not advertise generally provide legal services of the same quality as those provided by lawyers who do advertise.
D. Most lawyers who now specify fee arrangements in th eir advertisements would continue to do so even if the specification were not required. E
E. Most lawyers who advertise specific services do not lower their fees for those services when they begin to advertise.问题在d，看见讨论说文章并没有讨论specify fee arrangement的事情，但是原文里面的确提到了它啊，为什么说是irrelevant呢？？
Therefore, if the state removes any of its current restrictions, such as the one against advertisements that do not specify fee arrangements, overall consumer legal costs will be lower than if the state retains its current restrictions.
这里的结论说if remove restrictions such as ....do not specify fee arrangement, costs will be lower.
那么d里面说lawyers即使不要求（也就是remove了restrictions），他们仍然会specify fee arrangements in their advertisements，那么cost也就不会降低，这不就是削弱了结论么？？？
plus, as i see it, such as part is employed to illustrate the main point, making a concept more clear. the context of the example does not usually make a difference. if you understand the point, you can forget the example or even skip it. (not for RC )
