The city council will certainly vote to approve the new downtown redevelopment plan, despite the objections of environmentalists. After all, most of the campaign contributions received by members of the city council come from real estate development firms, which stand to benefit from the plan.
Which of the following statements, if true, would most weaken the argument above?
(A) Several members of the city council receive sizable campaign contributions from environmental lobbying groups.
(B) Members of the city council are required to report the size and source of each campaign contribution they receive.
(C) Not every real estate development firm in the city will be able to participate in, and profit from, the new downtown redevelopment plan.
(D) The members of the city council have often voted in ways that are opposed to the interests of their campaign contributors.
(E) Some environmentalists have stated that the new downtown redevelopment plan might be environmentally sound if certain minor modifications are made.

看过一些大家的解释，仍然对D耿耿于怀
D中have often表示从过去到现在，但并不代表将来，而原文中用的是will vote, 那么为什么过去一贯的做法要强加到将来呢？
想不通。。。我选了A，虽然several这个词也有异议，但勉强选之。。。
求高人指点～谢！

要看清出题目里的推理条件和结论。
条件： most of the campaign contributions received by members of the city council come from real estate development firms。

结论：The city council will certainly vote to approve the new downtown redevelopment plan,

作者认为因为real estate是主要的经济来源，所以市政建设一定会满足这些人。
并不是说要将过去的行动强加到将来。D是说尽管过去city常常和那些地产商对着干，但还是能得到他们的资助。如果使这样的话，那今年也不一定会顺着这些地产商的意思来redevelop。（虽然过去推现在是有些不妥，但要选best answer）

再来看看A   首先several 的却有点敏感。其次就算是sizable 的mone，也不会影响本文，因为说了很清楚 “ most of the campaign contributions received by members of the city council come from real estate development firms”
