Regulations will not allow a pesticide that is toxic to humans to be used inside houses unless the pesticide will dissipate completely from the air within eight hours after its application.One test that pesticide manufacturers standardly use to determine how quickly anti-termite pesticides dissipate involves spraying the pesticides on the walls of room-sized plywood boxes and then timing its dissipation.



Which of the following would it be most useful to know in order to evaluate whether a dissipation time of just under eight hours on the manufacturers’ test indicates that an anti-termite pesticide that is toxic to humans obeys regulations for use in houses?

1. Whether anti-termite pesticides dissipate more slowly in furnished rooms than in plywood boxes
   
   
2. Whether people who apply anti-termite pesticide standardly wear protective equipment that prevents them from being exposed to the pesticide
   
   
3. Whether people whose house is being treated with anti-termite pesticide generally know that they should remain out of their house during the hours immediately after the pesticide’s application
   
   
4. Whether there are anti-termite pesticides that are toxic to humans that, when subjected to the manufacturers’ test, dissipate completely from the air in the boxes in well under eight hours
   
   
5. Whether anti-termite pesticides that are not toxic to humans tend to take longer to dissipate than those that are toxic
   
   正确答案是A，我想问D为什么不可以？这题到底想说明什么？谢谢啦~
   

PPLU128

Stimulus:
A toxic pesticide can be used inside houses only if it dissipates within 8 hrs.
One test used to determine this involves spraying room sized plywood boxes and timing it.
(So basically, instead of spraying in an actual room, pesticide is sprayed in a room sized box and timed.)

Question: In case a pesticide does have a dissipation time of just under 8 hrs on the test, can it be used in houses? In order to answer this question which of the following will be useful to evaluate? (What I am thinking at this point is that I might need to know whether there is any difference between rate of dissipation in a plywood box and in an actual room)

A. Whether anti-termite pesticides dissipate more slowly in furnished rooms than in plywood boxes
Yes, I need to know this. If a pesticide has a dissipation time of just under 8 hrs, I need to know if it will take more time to dissipate in an actual furnished room. If it will take more time, it may not be allowed in houses. If it will take the same time, it may be allowed in houses. So this is useful to evaluate.

B. Whether people who apply anti-termite pesticide standardly wear protective equipment that prevents them from being exposed to the pesticide
Has nothing to do with rate of dissipation.

C. Whether people whose house is being treated with anti-termite pesticide generally know that they should remain out of their house during the hours immediately after the pesticide’s application
Has nothing to do with rate of dissipation.

D. Whether there are anti-termite pesticides that are toxic to humans that, when subjected to the manufacturers’ test, dissipate completely from the air in the boxes in well under eight hours
Whether such pesticides exist or not doesn't matter. I am concerned about that fact that if a pesticide does pass the test, can it be used in houses?

E. Whether anti-termite pesticides that are not toxic to humans tend to take longer to dissipate than those that are toxic
The argument has nothing to do with non toxic pesticides.

Whether there are anti-termite pesticides that are toxic to humans that, when subjected to the manufacturers’ test, dissipate completely from the air in the boxes in well under eight hours
D在说是否有种有毒的pesticides也能在八小时以内散掉。
题干说，不允许用有毒的除非能在八小时内散掉。（也就是说可以使用能在八小时内散掉的有毒的）所以D对结论没有evaluate的作用，只是可以被允许的一种情况。

谢谢~原来是我没看懂题意。。。那个题干看了好久才看明白，考试时要是遇到这种题可能就会乱选一个了，55

我觉得D无关吧？
题目的大意是：法令规定对人类有害的杀虫剂不允许在室内使用，除非它们经过测试可以在喷洒之后的8小时内在空气中消失。杀虫剂生产商针对此项法令的的一项测试就是将杀虫剂喷洒在合板房间内（应该就是指空房间吧，i guess)然后测试杀虫剂的消散时间。
问题是评价这项测试是否可以遵循这个法令。
A是质疑杀虫剂在合板房间和一般家庭有家具的房间，消散的时间是否差不多
D是说是否有种杀虫剂在这种测试中符合法令的规定

A偏重评价这个测试D其实无关吧
