TT-GWD-3-2

GWD-3-2: 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?

 

1. Some of the by-products of processing cashews are used for manufacturing paints and plastics.

2. Other countries in which cashews are processed subsidize their processing plants.

3. More people in Kernland are engaged in farming cashews than in processing them.

4. Buying unprocessed cashews at lower than world market prices enables cashew processors in Kernland to sell processed nuts at competitive prices.

5. A lack of profitable crops is driving an increasing number of small farmers in Kernland off their land and into the cities.

请大家帮我讨论一下这道题，谢谢了！

我觉得是C,
题干说,虽然不提高关税,会使种cashew的人受益, 但却会使失业率增加,(免关税的话,没人卖CASHEW到加工厂,加工厂没生意了,也不会招人工作了),所以现在的高关税是必要的.
C说种cashrew的人比加工cashrew的工人要多.
 换句话说,如果种cashrew的人,和加工cashrew的人,政府必须损害到其中一方的利益的话,我们只能选损伤最小的.
