一道新东方的逻辑题

kernland imposes a high tariff on the export of unprocessed cashew nuts in order to ensure that the nuts are sold to domestic processing plants. if the tariff were lifted and unprocessed cashews were sold at world market prices, more farmers could profit by growing cahsews. however, since all the processiong plants are in urban area, removing the tariff would seriously hamper the government's effort to reduce urban unemployment over the next five years.

which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument？

a. some of the by-products of processing cashews are used for manufacturing paints and plastices.

b. other countries in which cahsews are processed subsidize their processiong plants.

c. more people in Kernland are engaged in farming cahsews than in processing them.

d. buying unprocessed chasews at lower than world market prices enables canshew processors in Kernland to sell processed nuts at competitive prices.

e. a lack of profitable crops is driving and increasing number of small farmers in Kernland off their land and into the cities
答案是E.可是我觉得E是加强啊。第二题文章说降低出口关税会令国内城市中的加工厂不利，从而妨碍政府降低城市的失业率。e说农民进城，这样并没有削弱文章的结论，反而加强了。。。求解。

bg: lift tariff=> benefit farmer
premise: all the processiong plants are in urban area
conclusion:removing the tariff would hamper the govt's effort to reduce urban unemployment

a possible weaken choice
even the Gov keep the tariff, the urban umemloyment will not decrease

about E
as the farmer can‘t sell unprocessed chasews to foreign counries, they can't get enough profit
=> thus farmers give up planting the chasews ,leave the rural and go to the urban(cities)

2 possible results:

(1) fewer people plant the crop=》lower prodcution，while the demand keeps=》 price goes up=》cost of the manufacture company increases,and thus increase the possibility of higher unemployment;
(2) as more farmers go to cities, there are more unemployed labor in the job market, thus may increase the unemployment rate
