16.GWD-18-Q16 Aroca City currently funds its public schools through taxes on property.In place of this system, the city plans to introduce a sales tax of three percent on all retail sales in the city.Critics protest that three percent of current retail sales falls short of the amount raised for schools by property taxes.The critics are correct on this point.Nevertheless, implementing the plan will probably not reduce the money going to Aroca’s schools.Several large retailers have selected Aroca City as the site for huge new stores, and these are certain to draw large numbers of shoppers from neighboringmunicipalities, where sales are taxed at rates of six percent and more.In consequence, retail sales in Aroca City are bound to increase substantially.
In the argument given, the two potions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A.The first presents a plan that the argument seeks to defend against a certain criticism; the second gives part of the basis for that criticism.
B.The first presents a plan that the argument seeks to defend against a certain criticism; the second gives part of the basis for that defense.
C.The first presents a plan that the argument criticizes; the second is a consideration raised by the argument in support of that criticism.
D.The first presents a plan that the argument criticizes; the second presents a consideration that has been raised against that criticism.
E.The first presents a plan whose consequences the argument seeks to evaluate; the second is presented by the argument as one likely consequence that is undesirable. argument seeks to evaluate老见这样的表达，不知道是什么意思？什么时候可是对的？

意思是 ： 论证试图评价 a plan 的影响 E我觉得错的很严重的是第二句。that is undesirable，BF2是支持BF1的，所以不是undesirable
The first presents a plan whose consequences the argument seeks to evaluate 该 论证 试图评价 a plan 的影响 一般结构是： 观点+优点/缺点 evaluate在阅读题里也经常出现，通常作者是没有明显态度的，即客观的评价一个历史事件的意义和不足。有明显态度的文章，肯定是选带有态度词的选项，argue,defend,support,criticize,etc
