12. The fewer restrictions there are on the advertising of legal services, the more lawyers there are who
advertise their services, and the lawyers who advertise a specific service usually charge less for that service
than lawyers who do not advertise. Therefore, if the state removes any of its current restrictions, such as the one
against advertisements that do not specify fee arrangements, overall consumer legal costs will be lower than if
the state retains its current restrictions.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the argument concerning overall consumer legal
costs?
A. The state has recently removed some other restrictions that had limited the advertising of legal services.
B. The state is unlikely to remove all of the restrictions that apply solely to the advertising of legal services.
C. Lawyers who do not advertise generally provide legal services of the same quality as those provided by
lawyers who do advertise.
D. Most lawyers who now specify fee arrangements in their advertisements would continue to do so even if the
specification were not required.
E. Most lawyers who advertise specific services do not lower their fees for those services when they begin to
advertise.

答案为e.一开始觉得答案是在反对前提。现在想想是不是题中usually和答案中的begin是关键阿，请大家探讨探讨。

begin是关键，usually不是。文中说做广告的律师多数情况下收费较低（说的是大体情况，广告做一定时间后的情况）。E说的是刚刚做广告时收费高，从而WEAKEN律师费会减少的预言。
