Guidebook writer:  I have visited hotels throughout the country and have noticed that in those built before 1930 the quality of the original carpentry work is generally superior to that in hotels built afterward.  Clearly carpenters working on hotels before 1930 typically worked with more skill, care, and effort than carpenters who have worked on hotels built subsequently.

 

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the guidebook writer’s argument?

 

A.      The quality of original carpentry in hotels is generally far superior to the quality of original carpentry in other structures, such as houses and stores.

B.       Hotels built since 1930 can generally accommodate more guests than those built before 1930.

C.      The materials available to carpenters working before 1930 were not significantly different in quality from the materials available to carpenters working after 1930.

D.      The better the quality of original carpentry in a building, the less likely that building is to fall into disuse and be demolished.

E.       The average length of apprenticeship for carpenters has declined significantly since 1930.
                    

还是不太理解为什么选D，

笔者到过很多HOTEL, 发现1930年以前的建筑木工活质量比1930年以后的好===>1930年以前的木匠更SKILL

问削弱

D选项说能留下来得自然是质量好得, 1930年前质量坏的都已经不存在了, 说明站在现在比较1930年前的屋子和1930年后的屋子没有可比性, 从而推不出结论
