For years the beautiful Renaissance buildings in Palitito have been damaged by exhaust from the many tour buses that come to the city.  There has been little parking space, so most buses have idled at the curb during each stop on their tour, and idling produces as much exhaust as driving.  The city has now provided parking that accommodates a third of the tour buses, so damage to Palitito's buildings from the buses' exhaust will diminish significantly.

 

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument?

 

(A) The exhaust from Palitito's few automobiles is not a significant threat to Palitito's buildings.

(B) Palitito's Renaissance buildings are not threatened by pollution other than engine exhaust.

(C) Tour buses typically spend less than one-quarter of the time they are in Palitito transporting passengers from one site to another.

(D) More tourists come to Palitito by tour bus than by any other single means of transportation.

(E) Some of the tour buses that are unable to find parking drive around Palitito while their passengers are visiting a site.

答案是C, 有NN帮忙解释一下吗?我到是觉得D 和E 都对.但是无论如何体会不到C

我理解C的意思是，这些旅游大巴在P景点有不到四分之一的时间是在运送旅客，也就是有多于四分之三的时间是在路边idling，应该是不熄火在等游客吧。所以如果有了parking的话，就可以把这四分之分的时间熄火停在那里了，废气排放自然少了很多。

D和E都说了其他的某种情况，并没有加强的意思。

D项无关拉

E项some of 不够多啊 说明some of找到了啊

赞,终于明白了

奇怪Prep1-20和Prep空格1-20搜出来的题竟然不一样。

竟然又搜出一个关于这题的讨论，这里讨论的多一点我就在这里再问一遍吧。

我想请教各位，这一题我有点不明白为什么选C.

C是因为 one-quarter of the time they are in Palitito transporting passengers ，所以那3/4时间就是在idle at the curb吗？

那1/4时间transporting ,那3/4时间就一定是idle吗？说不定是parking呢？

我逻辑巨差，还是请NN帮忙解答一下啊

有点开窍了，但是还未完全理解。

以前没有park的地方，所以3/4的时间都跑去idle了；现在有了park的地方，不就可以不用idle而产生废气了么。

为什么不选B？

我感觉B像是not+weaken在排除它因，有点像假设，但也起加强作用呀？

raikey

结论是damage会减少,B确实排除了他因,但对于"证明damage会减少"没帮助.

thanks for raikey's explaination, it really helps!
