In Gandania, where the government has a monopoly on tobacco sales, the incidence of smoking-related health problems has risen steadily for the last twenty years. The health secretary recently proposed a series of laws aimed at curtailing tobacco use in Gandania. Profits from tobacco sales, however, account for ten percent of Gandania’s annual revenues. Therefore, Gandania cannot afford to institute the proposed laws.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

A.     All health care in Gandania is government-funded.

B.       Implementing the proposed laws is not likely to cause a significant increase in the amount of tobacco Gandania exports.

C.      The percentage of revenue Gandania receives from tobacco sales has remained steady in recent years.

D.      Profits from tobacco sales far surpass any other single source of revenue for the Gandanian government.

E.       No government official in Gandania has ever previously proposed laws aimed at curtailing tobacco use.

觉得A也是加强，要求削弱Gandania cannot afford to institute the proposed laws。A应该事私立的不受revenues下降的影响，所以可以afford to institute laws。

個人覺得這題的思路是:
profit from tobacco sales佔10% revenue=>不能(用law來)削減tobacco sales
原因就是跟錢有關
A就針對這個原因來攻擊, 不(用law來)削減tobacco sales, government就要多付錢在 health care是government funded
All health care in Gandania is government-funded+the incidence of smoking-related health problems has risen steadily for the last twenty years=>government就要多付錢在 health care
=========================
LZ可以用排除法:
B: 可以是加強 - 排除它因
C: 是加強
D: 無關(因為percentage巳定, 是不是largest single source doesn't matter)
E: 無關(過去跟未來無關)

我觉得D选项也是加强结论。Government从Tobacco sales的收入远远超过其他方面的收入，如果institute the proposed law，G就会失去一大笔收入，也就是cannot afford。
