Driving the steep road to the mountaintop Inca ruins of Machu Picchu is potentially dangerous and hiking there is difficult. Now the Peruvian government is installing a cable car that will make access much easier, and hence results in a large increase in tourisms. However, since the presence of large numbers of tourists tends to accelerate the deterioration of a site, installation of a cable car is certain to result in harm to the ruins.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls into question the argument?

A.The daily number of tourists that are expected to take the cable car to Machu Picchu is smaller than the original resident

B.The construction of the cable car terminal at Machu Picchu will require the use of potentially damaging heavy machinery at the site.

C.Machu Picchu is already one of the most popular tourist sites in Peru

D.Natural weathering will continue to be a more significant cause of the deterioration of Machu Picchu than tourist traffic

E.The cable car will replace the tour buses whose large wheels and corrosive exhaust at present do significant damage to the site.

答案选的是e，但我觉得a也有道理啊。原文说大量游客会损坏景点，a中说有了car之后每天乘坐car的游客反而比以前少，因此能削弱原文。这样子想有道理么？

题目结论是这个，太多的游客会deteriorate the site，所以装cable car 会 harm
注意是游客。

A选项说每天乘cable car的游客会比original resident少。没什么可比较的。题目根本没有把original resident视为坐cable car的人中。注意这里original resident不是指装cable car之前的游客，而是指原住民。
