Editorial: The roof of Northtown Council's equipment-storage building collapsed under the weight of last week's heavy snowfall. The building was constructed recently and met local building-safety codes in every particular, except that the nails used for attaching roof supports to the building's columns were of a smaller size than the codes specify for this purpose. Clearly, this collapse exemplifies how even a single, apparently insignificant, departure from safety standards can have severe consequences.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the editorial's argument?

正确答案: A

GMAT-4-21请教求解思路(来自GWD小班课堂)



























Editorial:  The roof of Northtown Council’s equipment-storage building collapsed under the weight of last week’s heavy snowfall.  The building was constructed recently and met local building-safety codes in every particular, except that the nails used for attaching roof supports to the building’s columns were of a smaller size than the codes specify for this purpose.  Clearly, this collapse exemplifies how even a single, apparently insignificant, departure from safety standards can have severe consequences.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the editorial’s argument?











The only other buildings whose roofs collapsed from the weight of the snowfall were older buildings constructed according to less exacting standards than those in the safety codes.





Because of the particular location of the equipment-storage building, the weight of snow on its roof was greater than the maximum weight allowed for in the safety codes.





Because the equipment-storage building was not intended for human occupation, some safety-code provisions that would have applied to an office building did not apply to it.





The columns of the building were no stronger than the building-safety codes required for such a building.





Because the equipment-storage building was where the council kept snow-removal equipment, the building was almost completely empty when the roof collapsed.

B? not sure.


大雪把房子亚跨,房子建造符合标准,除钉子外。认为;小的违例会造成大灾难。


支持?[我的逻辑是:没有其他不合规定的建筑问题]

B:因为equipment-storage building的特殊位置,屋顶上的积雪重于安全条例所允许的最大值。


这个不是削弱么,说明倒塌不是因为钉子,而是积雪过多。


my answer:A


请讨论!
