我觉得如果D要更准确的话，第一个boldface的地方应该把Theyplan to do this by purchasing that land from the farmers who ownit.也加进去，这样才符合D选项的“Thefirst presents a goal, strategies for achieving which are beingevaluated in the argument”。
这点就是让我觉得D不完美的地方。从本质上来说，第一句话真的只提了目标而已，后面讲了两个stragety，第一个持负评价，第二个持正平价。
一点看法。供参考。

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

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

1. Thefirst presents a goal that the argument rejects as ill-conceived; thesecond is evidence that is presented as grounds for that rejection.
2. Thefirst presents a goal that the argument concludes cannot be attained;the second is a reason offered in support of that conclusion.
3. The first presents a goal that the argument concludes can be attained; the second is a judgment disputing that conclusion.
4. Thefirst presents a goal, strategies for achieving which are beingevaluated in the argument; the second is a judgment providing a basisfor the argument’s advocacy of a particular strategy.
5. Thefirst presents a goal that the argument endorses; the second presents asituation that the argument contends must be changed if that goal is tobe met in the foreseeable future.

选C

yet extensive tests have shown that the less free oleic acid an unrefined olive oil contains per liter, the higher its quality.  

The proportion of free oleic acid that an olive oil contains is an accurate measure of the oil’s acidity.>>

仔细读题，原题有三个概念,两个关系：OLEIC ACID越低，QUALITY 越高

同时， OLEIC ACID是判断ACIDITY高低的标准。

因此可以推出结论，建立第三个关系：ACIDITY越低，QUALITY越高

选C

通篇逻辑是，第一句话是说暂时没有直接证据，而后面YET一个转折马上就给出了间接证据，说白了就是由此可以推出ACIDITY和QUALITY还是有关系的

D通过最后一句话就可以判断出来了，只与题目的一部分有关，前面一大堆不就相当于废话了？

这不符合ETS的思路，可以排除。

同意，yet就直接强调了Q与A的关系，也反驳了第一句话

所以答案是C

2-17: c

b is wrong at "only"

d is wrong

原来如些……

C被第一句就否决了，即使有yet，yet并没有否定第一句话。除非C是If an unrefined olive oil is intermediate in FOA 那就对了

 

有人说A推得太远。如果题目中unrefine这个词都没出现，那我没话说。但是refine>unrefine就是一步推论。

有人说题目没提过refine将导致质量好。这个更不成立。数学题每题都没说过1+1=2，但是你解gmat每一题都要基于1+1=2。refine是精炼，精炼就是质量好，这个不是推论，而是定义。

A和C都是偷换概念，C以acidity偷换了FOA，A以OA换了FOA

在烂的中选比较不烂的,A和C中选A，A换的没那么远。

排除BD是：原文没提的，用only直接out。E除了偷换概念还扯了个什么taste，out。

我也觉得不该是D。因为题目是说题中的条件都成立，推出什么，就是说它已经成立了，不是问assumption，需要一个条件去证明题中的论点成立，也就是上面有个同学说的是归纳题，不是假设题，结果完全不一样。
