T-4-Q38
        

In one state, all cities and most towns have antismoking ordinances, a petition entitled “Petition for Statewide Smoking Restriction” is being circulated to voters by campaign workers who ask only, “Do you want to sign a petition for statewide smoking restriction?” The petition advocates a state law banning smoking in most retail establishments and in government offices that are open to the public.

Which of the following circumstances would make the petition as circulated misleading to voters who understand the proposal as extending the local ordinances statewide?

A.      Health costs associated with smoking cause health insurance premiums to rise for everyone and so affect nonsmokers.

B.      In rural areas of the state, there are relatively few retail establishments and government offices that are open to the public.

C.      The state law would supersede the local antismoking ordinances, which contain stronger bans than the state law does.

D.      There is considerable sentiment among voters in most areas of the state for restriction of smoking.

E.       The state law would not affect existing local ordinances banning smoking in places where the fire authorities have determined that smoking would constitute a fire hazard.

Answer: B

我的理解是有一個禁菸的petition 在選民中流通，且工作人員僅是問 你要支持禁菸州立化嗎

 且這些活動式由各government office 來對外公開的。

題目是問 什麼情況之下 會讓選民誤會為 這是地方性的活動

答案是B 是說 因為在鄉村地方相對較少工家機關對外公布這些事情 。

是這樣子的嗎??

不太確定 

麻煩大家指教~~

前提1 一个州城市已经有禁烟法案了 

前提2 宣传只说全州请愿 禁止政府和公共场所吸烟

关键在于理解问题，对理解proposal是地方方案延伸的选民有误导，这些选民本以为这是一个延伸法案，但是如果反而是倒退就是误导了  简言之，反对法案延伸的选项对

C说州法取代地方法，地方法更严。 如果地方法更严的话，用全州这个不严的法代替地方发 就是对地方法的倒退 而不是延伸 所以答案是C 无疑

现在再翻过来看B 就有点无关的意思了 

这个题其实没有那么复杂，国外的论坛都是一致认为是C， 没有人提B， 直接定义为Irrelavent 。我觉得出现此情况的一个原因可能是很多同学集合某国国情了 认为政令一道基层就没用了，所以很爽。  看来白痴原则说起简单，实则难以达到阿。
