28-23: Goronian lawmaker: Goronia’s Cheese Importation Board, the agency responsible for inspecting all wholesale shipments of cheese entering Goronia from abroad and rejecting shipments that fail to meet specified standards, rejects about one percent of the cheese that it inspects. Since the health consequences and associated costs of not rejecting that one percent would be negligible, whereas the cost of maintaining the agency is not, the agency’s cost clearly outweighs the benefits it provides.

Knowing the answer to which of the following would be most useful in evaluating the lawmaker’s argument?

A: Are any of the types of cheeses that are imported into Goronia also produced in Goronia?

B: Has the Cheese Importation Board, over the last several years, reduced its operating costs by eliminating inefficiencies within the agency itself?

C: Does the possibility of having merchandise rejected by the Cheese Importation Board deter many cheese exporters from shipping substandard cheese to Goronia?

D: Are there any exporters of cheese to Goronia whose merchandise is never rejected by the Cheese Importation Board?

E: How is the cheese rejected by the Cheese Importation Board disposed of?

网上的答案是C 偶有点看不懂题目,大家讨论一下吧

要evaluate the lawyer's argument,我们就要先看他的结论：the agency’s cost clearly outweighs the benefits it provides. 那cost 是否大于benefits呢？只有第三选项能衡量。

由于允许那1%不合格产品进口所造成的成本和卫生后果可忽略不计，而这个机构的运营成本却不能忽略不计，所以这个机构存在的成本超出了它所带来的好处。
