Brochure: Help conserve our city's water supply. By converting the landscaping in your yard to a water-conserving landscape, you can greatly reduce your outdoor water use. A water-conserving landscape is natural and attractive, and it also saves you money.

Criticism: For most people with yards, the savings from converting to a water-conserving landscape cannot justify the expense of new landscaping, since typically the conversion would save less than twenty dollars on a homeowner's yearly water bills.

Which of the following, if true, provides the best basis for a rebuttal of the criticism?

正确答案: B

請教GWD 3-Q17~! 問題不太董~!

Brochure:  Help conserve our city’s water supply.  By converting the landscaping in your yard to a water-conserving landscape, you can greatly reduce your outdoor water use.  A water-conserving landscape is natural and attractive, and it also saves you money.

Criticism:  For most people with yards, the savings from converting to a water-conserving landscape cannot justify the expense of new landscaping, since typically the conversion would save less than twenty dollars on a homeowner’s yearly water bills.

 

Which of the following, if true, provides the best basis for a rebuttal of the criticism?

 

A. Even homeowners whose yards do not have water-conserving landscapes can conserve water by installing water-saving devices in their homes.

B. A conventional landscape generally requires a much greater expenditure on fertilizer and herbicide than does a water-conserving landscape.

C. A significant proportion of the residents of the city live in buildings that do not have yards.

D. It costs no more to put in water-conserving landscaping than it does to put in conventional landscaping.

E. Some homeowners use more water to maintain their yards than they use for all other purposes combined.                              ANS:B           

這題的疑問是~~~那個問句~~我會覺得他是要問哪一個可以做為criticism 的 抗辯的basis~~!  所以感覺要選的是支持Criticism的選項~~但是答案B選項~是反對Criticism  支持 Brochore來換成 water-concerving landscape~~  請問大家把 rebutal of the criticism 當成是 criticism的反例嗎? 所以才選weaken criticism~的B選項?   the best basis for a rebuttal of the criticism? 怎麼翻比較好呢?      感謝大家!!

 the best basis for a rebuttal of the criticism

为criticsim的rebuttal提供了最好的basis

cri的观点是 不仅一点水钱就能表现出water-conserving的好

B,conventional不仅费水,还费肥料跟杀虫剂

不知道是不是我把題目理解錯了~~?
Brochure:是說要支持使用water-conserving landscape~!

Criticism:說用water-conserving不好~~因為所以節省的錢不能justify the expense of new landscaping
因為只節省不到20圓~~!

那B選項~~是說convetional的不好~~感覺是要支持使用water-conserving~!
那不就又weaken先前題目所說的~~~water-conserving 不好了嗎??  感覺是反駁之前題目所給的criticism

provides the best basis for a rebuttal of the criticism 应该是 criticsim的rebuttal,如果是针对Critiscism的Rebuttal应该是rebuttal against the criticsim 而不用 of

不过,如果是criticsim的rebuttal,又应该用 the rebuttal 而不是 a rebuttal

再读2遍题目,发现还是你的理解是正确的。省的20块钱不足以解释安装new landscaping的费用

那就是应该把题目理解为针对criticsim的反对,也就是支持Brochure。就选了B

哎,最近总在误导人,深感自责。。

本文是说converting landscape,D项是说put a landscapeput a water-conserving landscape不比put a conventional landscape费钱不能说明改建的划算与否,所以不对
