有没有人问过天山的这道题目？

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 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 plants 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
是C还是E，大家来讨论一下。

E！越来越多的农民入城不是会导致失业率上升吗？这不是与保持关税是为了 reduce urban unemployment 相矛盾吗?
C选项说k国更多的人是干farming 而不是processing的
请注意原文说国家的目标是降低城市人口失业率。而原文说了 since all the processing plants are in urban areas 并没有说farming是在哪里的；且C是一个原文没有提到的比较 一定错

D说processing farm买到更低价格的unprocessed可以增加他们产品的竞争力

不是farm可以增加竞争力；enables cashew processors  是processors；且不管谁增强了竞争力都和结论无关，不要过度推理
