2. In the country of Malan, companies caught dumping industrial waste illegally on public property will soon face fines. Fines at fixed amount per violation have been proposed. Critics object that such mixed fines would encourage companies to be violators to make sure each violation pays, which they would do by dumping so much waste that the savings, relative to the costs of legal disposal, exceed the fine.
The critics’ objection assumes which of the following?
A Companies convicted of illegal dumping on public property will not be required to clean up the site and to dispose of the recovered waste properly.
B Companies that currently dump some part of their industrial waste illegally on public property usually dump all of it in that manner.
C The cost of disposing the industrial waste legally is less per unit of volume If the qualities disposed of are large rather than small.
D Much illegal dumping is a perpetuation of customary practices rather than a defiant response to legal restrictions.
E Fines based on volume of illegally dumped industrial waste would be no more difficult to assess than fixed fines.

去年S在Ostate卖了比其他店都多的TM车，Among sigle locatioon在US排第三，这个rank S以前从没获得过
A S去年比今年卖的TM车少，可能，今年卖的多了所以rank都提升了       
B 可能，因为题目USrank给的是single location的排名，可能其他muti-location也在O卖了很多       
C 原文只在讨论TM这个车型，其他的model不清楚，所以可能成立       
D 全文也没有提到multi-location的内容，所以也可能成立       
E 如果有一个排第二的single location店也在O的话，那与前提相悖，S店就不在O排第一了       
2. [Assumption] A
在M国，倾倒工业污染的公司将被fine， Fines at fixed amount per violation，有人反对说这样的mixedfine会让一切企业成为violators，在罚款的额度内，倾倒更多的污染，使得save超过cost       
A 非法污染的企业不需要被要求clean site recover水质，如果被需要的话这也需要很多cost,非法倾倒污染得不偿失        现在非法倾倒部分工业污染的公司以前经常倾倒所有的污染
B 结论是他们会倾倒尽可能多的污染，省钱抵消罚金的成本，无关       
C 工业污染量越多，dispose的单位成本越少。       
D perpetuation永久化 许多非法倾倒是习惯性的不是对合法限制的response          
E no more difficult to assess than fixed fines 无关比较
