Q2:

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?

 

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 cities.

答案给的E,不明白啊! NN,指点指点,谢过了!

别急，我来试试。

K地区对进口的腰果征收很高的关税，这样可以确保腰果能够卖给当地的加工厂，如果关税提高，同时未加工的腰果被卖到国际市场，那么，更多的农民就能通过中腰果而增收，然而，所有的加工厂都在城里，取消关税，将会严重阻碍政府在今后五年减小城市失业方面所做出的努力。

作者的意图是说：如果关税取消，未加工腰果的进口会增加，这样，加工厂就有活，虽然从前种腰果的农民利润减少，但是他们可以离开土地到城里的加工厂工作，这样就不会阻碍政府在今后五年减小城市失业方面所做出的努力。

有点绕，但是，关系理清，就很明白了。

其实这道题是经不起逻辑推敲的，题本身存在逻辑漏洞。

别太在意某个个别题目了

这个LIFT,到底是"取消"还是"提高"的意思呢?刚查了有提高的意思,那是否可以这样理解呢:文中说取消出口税让农民获利,E说利润少那就意味着不取消出口税,这样农民都进城了,失业率也高了,跟结论失业率高一致,那么是用"异因同果"来削弱呢?
