Environmentalist: The use of snowmobiles in the vast park north of Milville create sun acceptable levels of air pollution and should be banned.
Milville business spokesperson: Snowmobiling brings many out-of-towners to Milville in winter months, to the great financial benefit of many local residents. So, economics dictate that we put up with the pollution.
Environmentalist: I disagree: A great many cross-country skiers are now kept from visiting Milville by the noise and pollution that snowmobiles generate.
Environmentalist responds to the business spokesperson by doing which of the following?

Environmentalist responds to the business spokesperson by doing which of the following?
A. Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome can derive from only one set of circumstances B. Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome is outweighed by negative aspects associated with producing that outcome C. Maintaining that the benefit that the spokesperson desires could be achieved in greater degree by a different means D. Claiming that the spokesperson is deliberately misrepresenting the environmentalist’s position in order to be better able to attack it E. Denying that an effect that the spokesperson presents as having benefited a certain group of people actually benefited those people
B说反了吧
假设是certain desirable outcome is outweighed by negative aspects associated with producing that outcome:负面超过正面结果,然后又challenge这个假设,就变成了支持正面结果超过负面结果,反了。(环保学家应该是支持负面结果更多的)
不对的话请指正~
B.Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome is outweighed by negative aspects associated with producing that outcome
assumption的内容是优点(brings many out-of-towners )被产生优点的缺点(use of snowmobiles)超过了(因为如果没有use of snowmobile人会更多)。这就是Environmentalist的观点。而challenge这个观点则又与Environmentalist的观点相反。 所以B错了。
