X:In order to reduce the amount of plastic in landfills, legislatures should impose a ban on the use of plastics for packaging goods.

Y:Impossible!Plastic packaging is necessary for public safety.Consumers will lose all of the safety features that plastic offers, chiefly tamper-resistant closures and shatterproof bottles.

Which of the following best describes the weak point in Y's response to X's proposal?

A. Y ignores the possibility that packaging goods in materials other than plastic might provide the same safety features that packaging in plastic offers.

B. The economic disadvantages of using plastics as a means of packaging goods are not taken into consideration.

C. Y attempts to shift the blame for the large amount of plastic in landfills from the users of plastic packaging to the legislators.

D. Y does not consider the concern of some manufacturers that safety features spoil package appearances.

E. Y wrongly assumes that X defends the interests of the manufacturers rather than the interests of the consumers.

这道题目为什么选A呢？ NN帮我解释下吧    不太理解红色那句话的意思。。 哎

X的观点是说为了减少landfills的plastic的数量，应通过法律的手段禁止用塑料进行包装

Y反驳他说，塑料是维护公共安全的必需品，“Consumers will lose all of the safety features that plastic offers,

chiefly tamper-resistant closures and shatterproof bottles.”说的是如果没有塑料，消费者就会失去所有的安全保

障，后面就举了两个例子，例如主要是tamper-resistant closures and shatterproof bottles

A的选项的意思是说，就算没有塑料包装的存在，同样会有其他能和塑料起到同样保障安全作用的包装材料，就

削弱了原文对塑料所定义的无可替代的作用。。。。。

恩恩  那请问 B. The economic disadvantages of using plastics as a means of packaging goods are not taken into consideration.
这个选项是错在economic disadvantages 么？？ 因为文章提的不是economic方面的缺点么？？
谢谢了！！！ 逻辑比较差@@

题目问的是“Which of the following best describes the weak point in Y's response to X's proposal?”一定要根据题目来回答。。。proposalY是针对安全问题所提出的，，不是经济上的优缺点啊~~
