我搜了一下论坛以前好像没有对这道题的讨论...

怎么只有我想不明白吗...

19. GWD31-19

Sonya: The government of Copeland is raising thecigarette tax. Copeland’s cigarette prices will still be reasonably low, socigarette consumption will probably not be affected much. Consequently,government revenue from the tax will increase.

Raoul: True, smoking is unlikely to decrease, becauseCopeland’s cigarette prices will still not be high. They will, however, nolonger be the lowest in the region, so we might begin to see substantialillegal sales of smuggled cigarettes in Copeland.

Raoul responds to Sonya’s argument by doing which of thefollowing?

A.   Questioning the support for Sonya’sconclusion by distinguishing carefully between no change and no decrease

B.   callingSonya’s conclusion into question by pointing to a possible effect of a certainchange.

C.   Arguing that Sonya’s conclusion would bebetter supported if Sonya could cite a precedent for what she predicts willhappen.

D.   showing that a cause that Sonya claims willbe producing a certain effect is not the only cause that could produce thateffect

E.    pointing out that a certain initiative isnot bold enough to have the predicts it will have

我虽然也是初学者，想要提出自己的一点想法。
R的话只有两句，第一句是肯定S的话，但是句中所谓的decrease和change只是用because连接的因果关系，并非 distinguishing ；句子的中信应该在第二句，R提出了会出现走私的情况，这在S的话中没有提到。因此，B是正确的。

希望可以帮到你。
