GWD18-Q20~Boldface~

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.

答案：D。百思不得其解，我选的是E。
请NN们帮忙解释一下，好伐？
谢谢啦~

第一句话是政府部门的一个目标，一个计划。后面说这个计划的实施策略不好，因此要换一种更为理性合理的策略才能完成政府的这项目标，
因此就是E嘛，E错在哪儿呢？

换方案的原因不是因为 that goal is NOT to be met in the foreseeable future.

premise：But farming will not remain viable if the farms are left unmodernized, and most of the farmers lack the financial resources modernization requires.（你从后面的that 可以看出，premise 只有一个）
另外BF2不是一个situation，是一个事实，可以理解为premise 的一个basis。

situation不是事实么？

是的额，但是不是要这个situantion change，而是这个situantion 作为一个basis 去支持作者的argument。
