原理是这样啊

以下是引用展颜在2008/9/11 15:18:00的发言：

今天在prep上做到这题, boldface部分如下:

Plant scientists have used genetic engineering on seeds to produce crop plants that are highly resistant to insect damage.  Unfortunately, the seeds themselves are quite expensive, and the plants require more fertilizer and water to grow well than normal ones.  Thus, for most farmers the savings on pesticides would not compensate for the higher seed costs and the cost of additional fertilizer. 
   However, since consumer demand for grains, fruits, and vegetables grown without the use of pesticides continues to rise, the use of genetically engineered seeds of this kind is likely to become widespread.

所以A错.   B的denies错

这题是不是如上所说boldface部分错了啊？？NN进来看看啊。。我觉得如上所说的话答案是C，但如果和破解中一样的bodlface我觉得是A。请NN指教啊！！！

看到另外的帖子里的解释，觉得下面这个解释比较合理，COPY至此，供探讨

我最先也是选的A,后来跟c比较, 这是我的想法:
 the seeds themselves are quite expensive, and the plants require more fertilizer and water to grow well than normal ones - 这其实是作者摆的事实用来预测正因为这样可能农民不会用改良种子.

prediction就是Thus, for most farmers the savings on pesticides would not compensate for the higher seed costs and the cost of additional fertilizer.
                

However, since consumer demand for grains, fruits, and vegetables grown without the use of pesticides continues to rise, the use of genetically engineered seeds of this kind is likely to become widespread.  - 这是作者提出的consideration,就因为这样原来的prediction就被反驳了.

请探讨.

其实大致看起来 A 也没有太多的问题，但是GMAT考察我们的是选择最优的选项的能力

比较起来C选项的描述，更加贴切，具体吧。

咳，我也是一上来就错A

只能自己加强内功了：）共同加油！

boldface的部分到底是那些呢，CR中间经常有题目是换换面孔上场的，所以是确定搞错了还是另一道题目呢？等待确定（不过如果选项都是一摸一样的话是很少见的，应该是打错了）

The first presents a development that the argument predicts will have a certain outcome

anyone could help to explain the meaning of this sentence?

在语法区看过一个帖子，可现在怎么也找不到了
that will have a certain outcome 第一作为development的定语从句，第二作为the argument predicts 的宾语从句

还有一个问题，however后面才应该是文章的真正观点，所以其实文章是认为转基因作物是可以普及的，那前面的 “Thus, for most farmers the savings on pesticides would not compensate for the higher seed costs and the cost of additional fertilizer“就不应该叫做是文章的预测（argument predicts will have a certain outcome）了呀，否则文章不就是前后矛盾的么？？求教，谢谢！
