In one state, all cities and most towns have antismoking ordinances. A petition entitled "Petition for Statewide Smoking Restriction" is being circulated to voters by campaign workers who ask only, "Do you want to sign a petition for statewide smoking restriction?" The petition advocates a state law banning smoking in most retail establishments and in government offices that are open to the public.
Which of the following circumstances would make the petition as circulated misleading to voters who understand the proposal as extending the local ordinances statewide?

The state law would not affect existing local ordinances banning smoking in places where the fire authorities have determined that smoking would constitute a fire hazard. 没有看懂提问的意思 帮忙解释一下吧
題干問啥情況下the petition 會誤導 voters 去相信現有的禁菸 ordinance 會增強 its effect. 換句話說, 也就是說啥情況可以削弱 the effect of the pepition. C) 說 petition 帶來的 state law 會取代現有的ordinance, 可是現有的ordinance 還比新的 state law 來的強, 所以 state law 會削弱現有的 smoking ban.
