Q15: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 cashews. However, since all the processing plants are in urban areas, 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? C (E)
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument? C (E) A.Some of the by-products of processing cashews are used for manufacturing paints and plastics. B.Other countries in which cashews are processed subsidize their processing plants. C.More people in Kernland are engaged in farming cashews than in processing them. D.Buying unprocessed cashews at lower than world market prices enables cashew processors in Kernland to sell processed nuts at competitive prices. E.A lack of profitable crops is driving an increasing number of small farmers in Kernland off their land and into the city. 没看懂题,不知道那个however转折的是什么?一开始说要提高关税,怎么最后一句又说要撤销关税了?痛苦 给我解释解释吧。谢谢了
