Environmental organizations want to preserve the land surrounding the Wilgrinn Wilderness Area from residential development. They plan to do this by purchasing that land from the farmers who own it. That plan is ill-conceived: if the farmers did sell their land, they would sell it to the highest bidder, and developers would outbid any other bidders. On the other hand, these farmers will never actually sell any of the land, provided that farming it remains viable. But farming will not remain viable if the farms are left unmodernized, and most of the farmers lack the financial resources modernization requires. And that is exactly why a more sensible preservation strategy would be to assist the farmers to modernize their farms to the extent needed to maintain viability.
In the argument as a whole, the two boldface proportions play which of the following roles?

Inthe argument as a whole, the two boldface proportions play which of thefollowing roles? A. The first presents a goal that the argument rejects asill-conceived; the second is evidence that is presented as grounds for thatrejection. B. The first presents a goal that the argument concludescannot be attained; the second is a reason offered in support of thatconclusion. C. The first presents a goal that the argument concludes canbe attained; the second is a judgment disputing that conclusion. D. The first presents a goal, strategies for achieving whichare being evaluated in the argument; the second is a judgment providing a basisfor the argument’s advocacy of a particular strategy. E. The first presents a goal that the argument endorses; thesecond presents a situation that the argument contends must be changed if thatgoal is to be met in the foreseeable future. 看了网上的讨论,还是没搞明白为什么选D不选A,所以想说说我的理解,求指正问题。 第一句话讲的是个goal,第二句讲实现这个goal需要的plan,第三句说这个plan有问题,第四句的话我认为它是在第三句基础上进一步反驳(因为说:农民卖地也要卖给价高者,但事实上农民不一定会卖地)第五句说plan有一定意义的,第六句说需要更完善的plan。 这样的话整个逻辑链就是一个计划,作者argue了一下,最后做了一下让步啊。。。 D怎么会对呢?第二句BF明明是进一步反驳啊,怎么会是支持者的意见呢...
A说的是这个goal是ill-conceived的,所以要reject,但是原文是“That plan is ill-conceived”,而不是goal。B选项同样问题出在goal上面,这篇文章没有criticize goal,只是在吐槽现有的这个plan是多么弱。C选项还是错在goal上面。D选项正解。其实本文作者就是在各种吐槽,最后一句呼吁“a more sensible preservation strategy would beto assist the farmers to modernize their farms to the extent needed to maintainviability”.。第二句黑体字也是在进一步吐槽,自然就是在advocate自己最后的呼吁了。E选项我觉得是错在“must be changed”。。。农民种地的desire为啥要change,这个原文中压根没提。以上就是自己的一点儿意见了。。轻拍轻拍
