这题答案为B. PREP 的解释是说，while在这里表示的是与。。同时的意思，同时也是原文要表达的意思从而否定了DE. 我的疑问在于，如果while表达的是与。。同时，岂不是和at the same time 语意重复？我觉得这里while应该表达的是转折。不知道我的想法对不对

我也觉得while有疑问~   如果不是表示时间状语，为什么能省略 they are？？
while为转折词，比较省略也 不能没有are吖

如果while表转折逻辑意思就不对了呀。。

题目前面说是improved the standard of living ，后面说  introduce chemical pollutants 不就是转折的关系吗？
