Which of the following statements, if true, would provide support for the author’s claims above?

I.     Farm subsidies amount to roughly $20 billion a year in federal payouts and $12 billion more in higher food prices.

II. According to a study by the Department of Agriculture, each $1 of benefits provided to farmers for ethanol production costs consumers and taxpayers $4.

III.   The average full-time farmers have an average net worth of over $300,000.

(A) I only

(B) II only

(C) III only

(D) I and II only（D）

(E) I, II, and III

请问…. ( I ) 句的意思说的是什么 ? 我似乎有误解…..3Q

My understanding is that the farm subsidies come from two sources: federal pay out and higher food prices. $20 billion comes from the payout and the other $12 billion comes from the higher food prices.

oh my god < 噼哩啪拉 !! 用力给你拍手>

所以  没点出的那一层是 ∵ farm subsidies come from two sources ∴ it’s a punish for consumers

是吗 ?

另 想请教 您曾提过做题时注意keyword的问题 --->关于本句中的roughly  我判断她的属性是negative

查过Cambridge dictionary 对roughly 的解释为 :without taking a lot of care to make something perfect

因为这个字 我判定 句意中 暗喻 federal payouts  给的太少 …..呜呜呜

请问 mindfree 除了 “直觉” 之外 您是如何判断出此句滴??!! 还请指点一二

I think you are pretty good in CR. However, you really do not have to go too far. "Roughly" simply means "not exactly" or "approximately" to me. Keyword is useful to know the attitude of the author but author's opinion is more clear-cut in CR. Therefore to understand the whole sentence or argument is more important. Keyword thus helps more in RC to me.

Keep it up. You will do well.
