GWD3-Q17: Brochure: Help conserve our city’s water supply. By converting the landscaping in your yard to a water-conserving landscape, you can greatly reduce your outdoor water use. A water-conserving landscape is natural and attractive, and it also saves you money.
Criticism: For most people with yards, the savings from converting to a water-conserving landscape cannot justify the expense of new landscaping, since typically the conversion would save less than twenty dollars on a homeowner’s yearly water bills.
Which of the following, if true, provides the best basis for a rebuttal of the criticism?
- Even homeowners whose yards do not have water-conserving landscapes can conserve water by installing water-saving devices in their homes.
- A conventional landscape generally requires a much greater expenditure on fertilizer and herbicide than does a water-conserving landscape.
- A significant proportion of the residents of the city live in buildings that do not have yards.
- It costs no more to put in water-conserving landscaping than it does to put in conventional landscaping.
- Some homeowners use more water to maintain their yards than they use for all other purposes combined.
为了确保理解题义帮助讨论,我将题目翻译一下,如有错误,请指正:
Brochure: 为节省我市水资源,将你家园子里传统的landscape换成储水型的landscape,将能大大减少户外用水。储水型的landscape 自然美观,还省钱。 发对派:对有园子的人来说,转换成储水型的landscape后省下的钱,不足以成为更换的理由!因为储水型的landscape 一年也就为每户省不到20块水费! 请发驳发对派的观点。 答案:B:传统的landscape 比储水型的landscape ,要在肥料、除草剂上花费更多得多的钱! (理解:可见:新的储水型的landscape 尽管帮你省的水费不多,但是帮你省了大笔买肥料、除草剂的钱,因此:还是很省钱的,值得换!) 另:这个landscape具体中文在此翻译成什么比较好,请NN帮忙?
