X:In order to reduce the amount of plastic in landfills, legislatures should impose a ban on the use of plastics for packaging goods.

Y:Impossible!Plastic packaging is necessary for public safety.Consumers will lose all of the safety features that plastic offers, chiefly tamper-resistant closures and shatterproof bottles.

Which of the following best describes the weak point in Y's response to X's proposal?

A. Y ignores the possibility that packaging goods in materials other than plastic might provide the same safety features that packaging in plastic offers.

B. The economic disadvantages of using plastics as a means of packaging goods are not taken into consideration.

C. Y attempts to shift the blame for the large amount of plastic in landfills from the users of plastic packaging to the legislators.

D. Y does not consider the concern of some manufacturers that safety features spoil package appearances.

E. Y wrongly assumes that X defends the interests of the manufacturers rather than the interests of the consumers.

此题答案是A, 请问B为什么错了呢？貌似错在economic？求解~

X说应该禁止塑料包装材料的使用；
Y说不应该禁止，因为塑料包装材料对公众安全有意义。
选项A说包装的货品本身而不是包装材料提供的安全功能，所以是Y的弱点。
选项B讲包装材料的经济劣势，确实也对Y构成小削弱，但与包装材料提供的安全功能无关。
A优于B

这是FLAW题型：
这类题，描述的内容必须是原文出现过的，原文没有的是错误答案。

A. Y ignores the possibility that packaging goods in materials other than plastic might provide the same safety features that packaging in plastic offers.
B. The economic disadvantages of using plastics as a means of packaging goods are not taken into consideration.（disadvantages原文没有）
C. Y attempts to shift the blame for the large amount of plastic in landfills from the users of plastic packaging to the legislators.（说反了，legislator是X提到的）
D. Y does not consider the concern of some manufacturers that safety features spoil package appearances.（ manufacturer，spoil原文没有）
E. Y wrongly assumes that X defends the interests of the manufacturers rather than the interests of the consumers.（ manufacturer原文没有）

其实这题是可以秒杀的，因为Y说到necessary了，即无端假设必要条件。A正好有ignore possibility充分条件，所以A啦。

Economic既不是X的也不是Y的角度，而题目问的是Y反驳X的weakening point。
