Environmental organizations want to preserve the land surrounding the Wilgrinn Wilderness Area from residential development.They plan to do this by purchasing that land from the farmers who own it. That plan is ill-conceived: if the farmers did sell their land, they would sell it to the highest bidder, and developers would outbid any other bidders. On the other hand, these farmers will never actually sell any of the land, provided that farming it remains viable. But farming will not remain viable if the farms are left unmodernized, and most of the farmers lack the financial resources modernization requires. And that is exactly why a more sensible preservation strategy would be to assist the farmers to modernize their farms to the extent needed to maintain viability.



In the argument as a whole, the two boldface proportions play which of the following roles?



A.The first presents a goal that the argument rejects as ill-conceived; the second is evidence that is presented as grounds for that rejection.

B.The first presents a goal that the argument concludes cannot be attained; the second is a reason offered in support of that conclusion.

C.The first presents a goal that the argument concludes can be attained; the second is a judgment disputing that conclusion.

D.The first presents a goal, strategies for achieving which are being evaluated in the argument; the second is a judgment providing a basis for the argument’s advocacy of a particular strategy.

E.The first presents a goal that the argument endorses; the second presents a situation that the argument contends must be changed if that goal is to be met in the foreseeable future.

先搞清楚goal是什么，goal是保护那块地。
整个段落并没有反对保护那块地的目的，只是说环保组织提出的方法不好，自己提出了另外一个方。而不是目的本身有问题。


A说goal本身有问题。错，goal没问题，是环保组织的方法有问题。
B说goal不能达到。错，作者没说不能达到，只是提出了更好的方法，说不定就可以达到了。



相比之下D就非常严谨
strategies （for achieving which ）are being evaluated in the argument;
评论的是strategies，而不是goal本身
