GWD-3-2:
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.

        

 

        

请大家帮我讨论一下这道题，谢谢了！OA is E  有点不明白E为什么能削弱 ？？

先看E的逻辑链：

High Tariff--->价格无竟争----》农民无利可图---》农民进城----》就业问题加重。

由此可以推出：

Removing Tariff--->价格有竟争----》农民有利可图----》农民不会进城----》就业问题减轻。

也就是说根据E可以推断出：Removing Tariff得到的结果是就业问题减轻，而不是材料中说的Hamper the effort to reduce 就业问题.

因此，E正确。

Well explained! 楼上厉害！

E 那里说很多农人进到城里找工作。那么如果废除腰豆出口税，腰豆就有更多销路，所
以就不用跑进城里。那么城里的失业率也就不会因为腰豆加工厂生意少了而增加。
