不理解~刚开始看着每个都错，但是后来我选了A

小黛安

Industrialists from the country Distopia were accused of promoting the Distopian intervention in the Arcadian civil war merely to insure that the industrialists’ facilities in Arcadia made substantial profits during the war. Yet this cannot be the motive since, as the Distopians foresaw, Distopia’s federal expenses for the intervention were eight billion dollars, whereas, during the war, profits from the Distopian industrialists’ facilities in Arcadia totaled only four billion dollars.
Which of the following, if true, exposes a serious flaw in the argument made in the second sentence above?
(A) During the Arcadian war, many Distopian industrialists with facilities located in Arcadia experienced a significant rise in productivity in their facilities located in Distopia.
(B) The largest proportion of Distopia’s federal expenses is borne by those who receive no significant industrial profits.
(C) Most Distopian industrialists’ facilities located in Arcadia are expected to maintain the level of profits they achieved during the war.
(D) Distopian industrialists’ facilities in Arcadia made substantial profits before the events that triggered the civil war.
(E) Many Distopians expressed concern over the suffering that Arcadians underwent during the civil war.

不是选D吗？

小黛安

神！为什么呢？？？？？？麻烦了！！！！
我这个麻瓜

A提到的Productivity和原文无关。

D么，我觉得是这几个选项最解释的通的。虽然战时利润不高，但总利润高就行了。

话说答案到底是啥？

小黛安

答案是D

我觉着选B诶~如果钱不是D花的，而是别人花的，而这个别人还不拿D的利润，也就说明即使D的expense比profit高，D还是可以获利的~~~

B好么。。我选D错了。。。

到底选什么吖~~~应该是B吧？ 针对 a serious flaw in the argument made in the second sentence，理清原文second sentence中的“政府expense多与工厂profit“的关系。貌似只有B最中肯~
