Which of the following is required for the revampedcollection program to achieve its aim?

A.      This year, no materials that city services could separate for recyclingwill be incinerated.

D.     The refuse incinerated this year will generate no more residue ash pertruckload incinerated than did the refuse incinerated last year.

题目看的好纠结！

AvandarB

number of truckloads of refuse (A) * amount of residual ash produced per truckload (B)  = the amount of residual ash produced (C).
the question asks you to find a criteria to hold
1/2 A * B = 1/2 C
clearly, you have to hold B constant, thus you need to have refuse per truckload somehow constant. Only option D is suitable in this case.

当然，这只是一个所有的简化过程。。。
我是这么想的，不知道对不对

goal是减少灰烬ash，而不是减少refuse，E看上去很合理，但是你否定D选项看看，尽管refuse变少，但是燃烧它产生的ash更多不是仍然不能完成goal吗。
所以D比较符合

refuse减少到去年量的一半而不是今年的一半，跟今年总量多少没有关系

a也有道理啊，如果被回收的垃圾里还是有一部分需要焚烧，那也达不到减半的效果
