Vorland’s government is planning a nationwide ban on smoking in restaurants.The objection that the ban would reduce restaurants’ revenues is ill founded.Several towns in Vorland enacted restaurant smoking restrictions five years ago.Since then, the amount the government collects in restaurant meal taxes in those towns has increased 34 percent, on average, but only 26 percent elsewhere in Vorland.The amount collected in restaurant meal taxes closely reflects restaurants’ revenues.



Which of the following, if true, most undermines the defense of the government’s plan?



A.When the state first imposed a restaurant meal tax, opponents predicted that restaurants’ revenues would decline as a result, a prediction that proved to be correct in the short term.

B.The tax on meals in restaurants is higher than the tax on many other goods and services.

C.Over the last five years, smoking has steadily declined throughout Vorland.

D.In many of the towns that restrict smoking in restaurants, restaurants can maintain separate dining areas where smoking is permitted.

E.Over the last five years, government revenues from sales taxes have grown no faster in the towns with restaurant smoking restrictions than in the towns that have no such restrictions.


答案是D  我是一点也读不懂呀 我觉得D 和题目无关呀  ... 大牛门 帮帮我吧 ~~~

我是小苞

ABCE都与题目无关啊
A：opponents predicted，“预测”主观词模糊词，和题目无关，去掉
B：on many other goods and services.和题目无关
C：smoking has steadily declined throughout Vorland抽不抽烟问题就更与题目无关了
E：than in the towns that have no such restrictions讨论范围不对啊，这个是多出来的元素啊，讨论的是禁烟的餐馆啊。

E 是因为无关才错的  但我觉得它无关的好像并不是 你说的那个 多出来的元素导致的  E 说...grow faster.. 我们看的应该是到底长还是没有长  而不是长的快不快
