新东方GMAT补充材料Page161, T14,

Federal agricultural programs aimed at benefiting one group whose livelihood depends on farming often end up harming another such group.

Which of the following statements provides support for the claim above?

I. An effort to help feed-grain producers resulted in higher prices for their crops, but the higher prices decreased the profits of livestock producers.

II. In order to reduce crop surpluses and increase prices, growers of certain crops were paid to leave a portion of their land idle, but the reduction was not achieved because improvements in efficiency resulted in higher production on the land in use.

III. Many farm workers were put out of work when a program meant to raise the price of grain provided grain grain growers with an incentive to reduce production by giving them surplus grain from government reserves.

(A)  I, but not II and not III

(B)  II, but not I and not III

(C) I and III, but not II

(D) II and III, but not I

(E) I, II and III

The answer  is (C), but I think should be (D). Who can help resolve?

Thanks!

题目：帮助 A  时却损伤了 B.

I.  A = feed-grain producers,   B = livestock producers

II. A = growers of certain crops,   B = ??

III. A = grain growers,   B = farm workers

所以，选 C.

Thank you, Joe,  but It's "end up harming another such group"  是停止损伤了 B.

Maybe I understand it wrongly? Pls advise. Thanks again.

2。“ but It's "end up harming another such group"  是停止损伤了 B”.   end up指“以。。。结束。”即以伤害另一个同样的GROUP结束。
