In one state, all cities and most towns have antismoking ordinances.  A petition entitled “Petition for Statewide Smoking Restriction” is being circulated to voters by campaign workers who ask only, “Do you want to sign a petition for statewide smoking restriction?”  The petition advocates a state law banning smoking in most retail establishments and in government offices that are open to the public.

 

Which of the following circumstances would make the petition as circulated misleading to voters who understand the proposal as extending the local ordinances statewide?

 

1. Health costs associated with smoking cause health insurance premiums to rise for everyone and so affect nonsmokers.

2. In rural areas of the state, there are relatively few retail establishments and government offices that are open to the public.

3. The state law would supersede the local antismoking ordinances, which contain stronger bans than the state law does.

4. There is considerable sentiment among voters in most areas of the state for restriction of smoking.

5. The state law would not affect existing local ordinances banning smoking in places where the fire authorities have determined that smoking would constitute a fire hazard.

说实话，这道题目还真看不懂是啥意思，大虾麻烦解释一下。答案是E。

原文：

    在某州境内，所有城市和大多数乡镇都有禁烟的法律。请愿者用“在全州范围内限制吸烟”的标语拉拢人投票支持请愿行为，但他们对投票者只是提出“你是否愿意支持在全州范围内限制吸烟”的问题。这些请愿者拥护州立法在全州大多数对公众开放的零售场所及政府办公场所禁烟。

题干：

    在什么情况下，请愿者的标语会误导他人，让别人认为会将禁烟法律扩展到全州所有地区。 

B选项的意思是——在乡村地区，只有少数零售场所和政府办公场所对公众开放。这个选项并不会影响在这些乡村地区禁烟，因为，即使公众场所少，也还是存在，只要存在，州立法就可以在这些场所禁烟。因此，不会影响“在全州范围内限制吸烟”的立法扩展到这些乡村地区。

E选项的意思是——州立法不能改变地方立法。这就从根本上否决了“在全州范围内限制吸烟”的立法的作用。因为，即使州立法通过，也不会影响那些“只是在吸烟容易引发火灾的地方禁止吸烟”的地方立法。
