13. Defense Department analysts worry that the ability of the United States to wage a prolonged war would be seriously endangered if the machine-tool manufacturing base shrinks further. Before the Defense Department publicly connected this security issue with the import quota issue, however, the machine-tool industry raised the national security issue in its petition for import quotas. Which of the following, if true, contributes most to an explanation of the machine-tool industry’s raising the issue above regarding national security? A. When the aircraft industries retooled, they provided a large amount of work for too builders. B. The Defense Department is only marginally concerned with the effects of foreign competition on the machine-tool industry. C. The machine-tool industry encountered difficulty in obtaining governmental protection against imports on grounds other than defense. D. A few weapons important for defense consist of parts that do not require extensive machining. E. Several federal government programs have been designed which will enable domestic machine-tool manufacturing firms to compete successfully with foreign toolmakers. og解释:
E is irrelevant to the industry's choice of strategy for securing import quotas!
但我觉得E是relevant的,只不过它和A B一样,解释了why the industry might not raise the security issue.即: 因为他已经获得了保护,所以没必要再借national security的题发import quota的挥了
NN来看一下吧
