题目是什么意思呢? 是不是说下面论述如果真的话,将会预示着委员会的计划可以成功? 那为什么是d呢 可以到别村买预示着计划不会成功啊? 想了好久 还是不明白 D16. In an attempt to promote the widespread use of paper rather than plastic,and thus reduce non-biodegradable waste,the council of a small town plans to ban the sale of disposable一次性 plastic goods for which substitutes made of paper exist.The council argues that since most paper is entirely biodegradable,paper goods are environmentally preferable.
Which of the following,if true,indicates that the plan to ban the sale of disposable plastic goods is suited to the town council's environmental goals?
(A) Although biodegradable plastic goods are now available,members of the town council believe biodegradable paper goods to be safer for the environment. The existence of biodegradable plastic does not make the town's plan to ban disposable plastic goods unsuitable to its environmental goal (B) The paper factory at which most of the townspeople are employed plans to increase production of biodegradable paper goods. The town's plan is no less appropriate for its goal if the local paper factory makes biodegradable paper goods (C) After other towns enacted similar bans on the sale of plastic goods,the environmental benefits were not discernible for several years. Environmental benefits need not be immediate.Even though benefits were not perceived for several years after similar bans,the benefits did occur (D) Since most townspeople prefer plastic goods to paper goods in many instances,they are likely to purchase them in neighboring towns where plastic goods are available for sale. Correct.This statement properly identifies the problem with the council's plan. (E) Products other than those derived from wood pulp are often used in the manufacture of paper goods that are entirely biodegradable.The specific materials that go into making no biodegradable paper are not in question.This statement is irrelevant to the plan. Evaluation of a Plan Situation A town council considers banning the sale of disposable plastic goods for which there are paper substitutes because paper is biodegradable and therefore environmentally preferable. Reasoning What problem might there be in the council's plan? The plan is intended to reduce the amount of plastic used by the citizens of the town.The town council's plan is,however, only as effective as the support it has from the town's citizens.If the citizens prefer disposable plastic goods and if the goods are also readily available in neighboring towns,there is nothing to stop them from buying the plastic goods elsewhere if that is their preference. |
