The OLEX Petroleum Company has recently determined thatit could cut its refining costs by closing its Grenville refinery andconsolidating all refining at its Tasberg refinery. Closing the Grenvillerefinery, however, would mean the immediate loss of about 1,200 jobs in theGrenville area. Eventually the lives of more than 10,000 people would beseriously disrupted. Therefore, OLEX’s decision, announced yesterday, to keepGrenville open shows that at OLEX social concerns sometimes outweigh the desirefor higher profits.
Which of the following, if true, most seriouslyundermines the argument given?
LR 1关闭G为了减少成本——也是为了profitsP2 G关闭会引起大量失业 P3 O决定保持G的运营 C O重视社会事务>profits——————这是一个因果关系推导
削弱：①他因：保持G也是为了profits②保持G是违反了社会利益
A. The Grenville refinery, although it operatesat a higher cost than the Tasberg refinery, has nevertheless been moderatelyprofitable for many years.
一直都是moderately profitable->加强
B. Even though OLEX could consolidate all itsrefining at the Tasberg plant, doing so at the Grenville plant would not befeasible.
C. The Tasberg refinery is more favorablysituated than the Grenville refinery with respect to the major supply routesfor raw petroleum.
D. If the Grenville refinery were ever closed andoperations at the Tasberg refinery expanded, job openings at Tasberg would tothe extent possible be filled with people formerly employed at Grenville.
people formerlyemployed at Grenville.—》1200人
仔细再看这题，突然发现还有一句“Eventually thelives of more than 10,000 peoplewould be seriously disrupted.”，而D中T的作用只能维持G原来的那些人——如果是这样的话侧面说明T达不到需要的社会效益，所以其实是加强吧？
E. Closureof the Grenville refinery would mean compliance, at enormous cost, withdemanding local codes regulating the cleanup of abandoned industrial sites.
其实即使D选项没有那么tricky——也应该迅速判断到E——因为E是唯一一个选项涵盖了既推翻“维持社会效益”又否定了“outweigh the desire higher profits”——MOST SERIOUSLY |
