42. Leaders of a miners' union on strike against Coalco are contemplating additional measures to pressure the company to accept the union's contract proposal. The union leaders are considering as heir principal new tactic a consumer boycott against Gasco gas stations, which are owned by Energy Incorporated, the same corporation that owns Coalco. The answer to which of the following questions is LEAST directly relevant to the union leaders' consideration of whether attempting a boycott of Gasco will lead to acceptance of their contract proposal? (A) Would revenue losses by Gasco seriously affect Energy Incorporated? (B) Can current Gasco customers easily obtain gasoline elsewhere? (C) Have other miners' unions won contracts similar to the one proposed by this union? (D) Have other unions that have employed a similar tactic achieved their goals with it? (E) Do other corporations that own coal companies also own gas stations? 原文第二句和问题都看不懂啊~~ 忘牛牛们给翻译一下哈~~~
选e吧。。 第二句就是说Union leaders在考虑一个新的tactic which is 抵制一个gas station。 这个gas station 和 Coalco是belong to the same parent company也就是 Energy Incorporated。 问题就是问,“通过抵制gas station,是否会让他们的contract proposal be accepted,下面哪个情况与这个situation关系最小”。。很明显,e选项其他拥有coal companies是否会拥有gas stations和这个无关。
For B :if current Gasco customers< CAN> easily obtain gasoline elsewhere, thus the boycott will <NOT> influence the Gasco gas stations,---><cannot> force the company to accept contract proposal.( cannot obtain-->influence-->can force)
