怎么没有人答复的~~再来一道OG解释 OG10-140. A report on acid rain concluded, “ Most forests in Canada are not being damaged by acid rain.” Critics of the report insist the conclusion be changed to, “Most forests in Canada do not show visible symptoms of damage by acid rain, such as abnormal loss of leaves, slower rates of growth, or higher mortality.” Which of the following, if true, provides the best logical justification for the critics’ insistence that the report’s conclusion be changed? (A) Some forests in Canada are being damaged by acid rain. (B) Acid rain could be causing damage for which symptoms have not yet become visible. (C) The report does not compare acid rain damage to Canadian forests with acid rain damage to forests in other countries. (D) All forests in Canada have received acid rain during the past fifteen years. (E) The severity of damage by acid rain differs from forest to forest. 140. If, as choice says, acid rain damage could be occurring without there yet being any visible symptoms, the absence of visible symptoms would not justify the conclusion that no damage was occurring. Thus, choice B is the best answer since it justifies the critics’ insistence that the conclusion be changed. Because the authors of the report evidently resist the change being demanded, any claim on which they and their critics are likely to be in agreement cannot provide justification for the change. Choices A, C, D, and E are all claims both parties can agree on, so none of them is correct. 红色部分说的是什么意思呢???此题答案无异议hehe
