以下是高智威解释：

GWD3-Q17:B
Brochure:  Help conserve our city’s water supply.  By converting the landscaping in your yard toa water-conserving landscape, you can greatly reduce your outdoor water use.  A water-conserving landscape is natural andattractive, and it also saves you money.
Criticism:  For most people with yards, the savings fromconverting to a water-conserving landscape cannot justify the expense of newlandscaping, since typically the conversion would save less than twenty dollarson a homeowner’s yearly water bills.
Which of thefollowing, if true, provides the best basis for a rebuttal（反例） of thecriticism?      就是削弱criticism，C说得是water-conserving landscape不省钱，削弱就是说他省钱即可。
A.   Even homeowners whose yards do nothave water-conserving landscapes can conserve water by installing water-savingdevices in their homes. 支持
B.   A conventional landscape generallyrequires a much greater expenditure on fertilizer and herbicide than does awater-conserving landscape.
C.   A significant proportion of theresidents of the city live in buildings that do not have yards.无关
D.   It costs no more to put inwater-conserving landscaping than it does to put in conventional landscaping. 支持
E.    ! Somehomeowners use more water to maintain their yards than they use for all otherpurposes combined.无关


以下是某牛解释：（与上面相反）

大家不用争论啦，偶尽早已经找到了最经典的证据，OG30题（关于那个军火购买协议中以'historical costing"来定价的问题），几乎一摸一样，是ETS的标准表达方法，我们记住就好了，我们的误解可能是因为受中国英语的理解，印象中OF只能是那个意思。
Which of the following statements, if true, is the best basis for a criticism of historical costing as an economically sound pricing method for military contracts?
比较一下这个题 Which of the following, if true, provides the best basis for a rebuttal of the criticism?
可不是咋的？！典型的削弱题型！！ OG还是要好好读啊，包括它的提问方式。

其实题干的两种观点是对立的。问题本身算是支持Brochure，削弱Criticism，但是严格意义来说是削弱题。

好厉害呀！瞬间就明白了，做题时连题目都没搞清 T T。
不过OG30在OG2017版中是那道题？
我找了下，好像没有，网上也没有。想亲眼看下，印象更深刻。
