求助 逻辑 18 tobaccosale

In Gandania, where the government has a monopoly on tobacco sales, the incidence of smoking-related health problems has risen steadily for the last twenty years. The health secretary recently proposed a series of laws aimed at curtailing tobacco use in Gandania. Profits from tobacco sales, however, account for ten percent of Gandania’s annual revenues. Therefore, Gandania cannot afford to institute the proposed laws.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

A. All health care in Gandania is government-funded.

B. Implementing the proposed laws is not likely to cause a significant increase in the amount of tobacco Gandania exports.

C. The percentage of revenue Gandania receives from tobacco sales has remained steady in recent years.

D. Profits from tobacco sales far surpass any other single source of revenue for the Gandanian government.
E. No government official in Gandania has ever previously proposed laws aimed at curtailing tobacco use

答案是A确定无疑，A 答案的意思是所有的医疗费用都是政府支出，但这个法律能使吸烟相关的健康问题下降，可以使得政府减少医疗支出，即使政府收入下降，政府还是可以afford the proposed laws

哈哈，我选对了，就是A,我记得之前在哪里也做过的。。因为政府要出资给病人看病，所以减少烟草就会增加政府收入，因此就可以禁烟了
